Warning

To remove a file from your Drive, you can put it in your trash. The file will stay in your trash for 30 days before being automatically deleted.

If you're the owner of the file, others can access it until you permanently delete the file. If you're not the owner, others can access the file even if you empty your trash.

After you delete a file, anyone you've shared the file with loses access to it. If you want others to still access the file, you can give ownership to someone else.
