unsharing

Refusing to distribute

Unsharing is the act of revoking shared access to digital content, files, or permissions that were previously made available to others.

On social media and cloud storage platforms, you unshare something by changing its visibility settings or removing specific people's access.

I'm unsharing that folder with my ex.

The term reflects how digital sharing has become reversible in ways that physical sharing often isn't.
