Deleting shared saver folders on iphone files app
I cannot find an option to delete a shared saver folder on my iphone. When I select it there is no option to delete it. The trash folder will be greyed out

BaTahh,
Was this folder created on your computer? If so, have you tried deleting it from your computer?
If it was created on your iPhone, and you can't delete it, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support. they can be reached by going to Get Support.
Cheers!
BaTahh,
You still should be able to delete the folder. When you say you linked your iPhone to your computer through a server function, can you tell us what computer you have and OS installed?
See the section “Delete files” found in Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
We look forward to hearing back from you.
Hi BaTahh,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We're happy to lend a hand with deleting shared folders.
Have you seen and tried the steps found in Delete sharded files or folders in iCloud Drive on iCloud.com?
After trying to delete the shared folders, if you still need help just reach back out and let us know what happened when you tried to delete the folders following the steps in the above article.
Take care!
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately the steps you are suggesting don't work at all. What happened is that I linked my phone to my computer through sever function on files app. One of the files needs to be removed from the files app but no option exists to delete it
The folder is originally in the computer and was only accessed via server option on file app. Deleting the folder in the computer will not make sense. I will take your suggestion of contacting Apple support
Thank you
Sorry to say this : the folder was created in the files app and not on icloud.

Long pressing the file is not giving any option to delete it from the server list. The trash icon is barely visible at the bottom
Long pressing gives two options only - 'Get info' and copy
