# How do I stop sharing a file in Delta Drive?

Open **Shared** (**Shares** on the website), right-click the share under **Shared by me** — or find it in **Sharing stats** — and choose **Withdraw**. It asks you to confirm, then stops immediately: anyone currently signed in to that share — or looking at a public link — is cut off at once, without waiting for the expiry date.

A withdrawn share stays withdrawn. If you change your mind, **Share again** makes a new share, with a new link, holding the same items, people and permissions. To tidy the list, choose **Delete from list** — a live share has to be withdrawn first.
