Delete shared maps

You can remove My Maps that you have shared with others, or that someone else has shared with you. When you delete:

• Maps owned by you: Other people can’t see or edit your map if it’s in the trash. If you want to let others use the map, make someone else the owner before you delete it.
• Maps owned by someone else: If you delete someone else's map, it only affects you. Others will still be able to see the map.
