Permanently deleted files that have been shared with me.
If I have access to someone else's folder (that they have shared with me), and I permanently delete it, does it delete from their end? If so, is there any way to recover permanently deleted files?
Thank you

Hi emma95, I'd be happy to help!
The answer is: no. You can't restore permanently deleted files.
However, if you're talking about a shared folder, keep in mind that you can remove your access using these steps.
More specifically, you won't be able to permanently delete a shared folder, since you'll be getting an error "You do not have permission to permanently delete (name folder)".
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
