How can I stop people from accessing my shared link? Should I delete it?

A week ago I gave people a link so they could access files there.  How do I now stop access to that link - ie delete the link, delete files accessible via that link, or stop sharing files in that link?

      Thank you but the link doesn't appear there.  Yet, if someone clicks on the link they can access files I no longer want them to be able to access.  If it makes any difference, I put the files in that folder on dropbox.com & passed the link to others, then installed the app on my computer and rearranged folders and files.  However, that original link still works and allows people to access files I no longer want them to do so.

        All links from your account show on that page. Rearranging files doesn't change anything - they still work. 

        If it isn't showing on links have you checked the other options (Files and Recents etc.)?
