  7. Refresh the page and double-check that the file permissions are revoked.

Tip: If you face an issue where you cannot revoke all file permissions, try narrowing the scope by filtering the file type before revoking permissions. Depending on the file types selected, you may not be able to revoke permissions with one click. In this case, filter the file types and repeat the steps above for each selected type and remove them in batches.
