How to delete shared files in Canva Account

At some point, you might want to delete files shared with you by others or a team. Although this might seem simple, it requires someone with the right permissions to remove the files.

How to delete Canva files shared with you

To delete shared designs, you must ask the designer who shared the files with you to change their sharing settings to “Not Shared.” The files will disappear from your Canva account. The designer can follow the procedure below to remove the files;

• Login to Canva
• Open the shared design
• Click the share button
• Click the plus sign button
• Next to your email, the designer should change sharing permission to “Not Shared”
• The file will be unshared

As of January 2023, only the design owner can remove the shared designs. To view people who you have shared files with and their permissions, open the file and click the share button.

As a file designer, you can provide view-only access to prevent people from editing your designs.
