Why does a shared collection still appear after I removed it?

Summary

A removed shared collection should normally disappear from your shared library, so if it comes back after refresh it usually points to a view or synchronization issue.

Who this is for

  • Recipients who removed a shared collection but still see it.

Steps

  1. Refresh the page once.
  2. Navigate away and back to your shared view.
  3. If it still appears, confirm whether the removal actually completed.

What to expect

  • Once the removal fully applies, the collection should stay out of your shared view.

Common questions

Could it just be stale UI?

Yes. A shared collection can sometimes appear briefly until the view reloads the latest state.
