How can I delete a tree someone shared with me

I'm not sure that you can delete it but in any case why would you need to? It doesn't take up any room on your computer.

I've just checked on trees shared with me and I have 12 pages of them totalling 120 trees. I just never look at them these days.

If you go into. Messages/ my contacts can you change Thea cess or ask the other person to remove your access.

You can't delete it.

Asking the other person to cancel access might work as suggested - if you can remember who that was.
I have dozens of trees shared with me over many years, and have no idea who the contact was for most of them.

Deleting the contact doesn't remove the shared tree from your list - I've tried that.
GR says that deleting a contact will remove "all permissions" - but that doesn't seem to apply to shared trees.
