Allow us to delete items (files) in the share screen for general meetings.
Allow us to delete the numerous files listed in the share screen for general meeting (I'm not referring to chats).

It's not common for a meeting to want to share documents from previous sessions or meetings. I guess I see the intended effect is that if I was recently editing a ppt then I might want to use it in the meeting... but it's a cleaner user experience for me to have a blank slate for each new meeting.
It would be nice if the share settings provide for:
1) desktop
2) available (open) windows
3) powerpoint files: only files i have shared in this session -

Please develop a fix to this bug. Whenever I try to share in MS Teams, I now have over 40 tiles that I need to flick through to share something completely different. We want a way to 'delete' all the old stuff we have shared in previous calls.

Please! This is very frustrating when we need to locate a file that was purposely opened and share. There is no need to store older PP files in this manner and constantly within view without an option to delete. It’s a distraction and often the selected PPs are only used once for a Teams call and then stored away.

Yes - it's becoming difficult to use because so much is open and you can't see the titles properly to pick the accurate PPT I want to share.

Completely agree with the comments. I do not want to see 10 PowerPoint presentations when I go to share my screen in Teams. I have to take a extra time to find the item I want to share during a meeting. It wastes time, I look like I don't know what I'm doing, and it's just plain distracting. I"m not sure why it is taking Microsoft so long to find a way to let us remove these PowerPoint slides. If Microsoft thought that having these old files would be beneficial, they were off base. It is the opposite of beneficial. Please help!

Very cumbersome to have to wade through files from previous meetings. I host a lot too. I am surprised this was not a priority to get this fixed long before now.

I agree this functionality needs to be added - I have just created a ppt for a meeting and I can only see old ones from previous meetings in my options to share - HELP!

Please develop a fix for this issue, it makes it really hard to find the PowerPoint you want to show when there are so many still there active when you haven't used them in weeks.

It should only show open files. This "feature" isn't a feature at all, but a bug.

So many new users having this issue with too many files can someone just add an option to remove the files that we dont need ot have a folder you can select for you actual meeting causing all sort of issues.

Of particular frustration is my PowerPoints are update weekly so the name doesn't change until the end of the string which doesn't show.

I have copied a request from another user that explains it clearly:
Here is the situation: I set up a Teams meeting, Join the meeting, press the Share button and 7 PowerPoint presentations show up in the share 'area' as selections. Several are old that I used a few weeks ago and no longer want to use. Another problem is that not enough of the titles show to know which is the one I want, only the one I want is actually open in PowerPoint. I'd like to be able to limit the choices or selections I have in the share area to only the files I have open or, be able to remove items I no longer what to use. As is, it looks like the share area includes anything I have shared in the last several weeks. I have not uploaded the PowerPoint presentations to Teams, I have shown them as presentations via the Share function during a Teams meeting.
