How do I stop sharing and delete an old friend account that no longer exists? I keep selecting "stop sharing" and keep deleting it, but it comes right back. The account is a dead account/old, my friend deleted it/stopped using it.

How do I stop sharing and delete an old friend account that no longer exists? I keep selecting "stop sharing" and keep deleting it, but it comes right back. The account is a dead account/old, my friend deleted it/stopped using it. I've tried several options for "stop sharing"/"delete" and have tried from different devices, but nothing works. The dead account keeps coming back immediately and will not allow me to remove it.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.6
