I needed to delete a shared folder but I didn't unshare it first

I didnt realize i had to unshare pictures before deleting a folder. Now i am still the owner but do not have access to unshare any more. How do the people i shared with remove themselves? Or can the action of deleting be undone? I do not see a deleted itemd]s anywhere to restore them?

The same way you did; just delete the folder.

If you permanently removed the share, then there's no way for you to recover it. If you just left it temporarily, then you MIGHT be able to rejoin it from your Sharing page.
