See the My Cloud OS 5 User Manual. It explains how to remove a user from Remote Access/Cloud Access.

Nope that did not work. it still stays there asking you to invite them again. but doing the 40 second reset has removed the user.

I’m having this same problem. I have a list of users in cloud access and all it shows is an invite for them. No way to remove them. There is no user for them in the regular user list. I really hate the gui for this. It’s so painful to get it to do anything.

Is there not a little trash can icon to the right of the user’s email in the My Cloud Dashboard > Cloud Access (after selecting the user account) where you can click on it to remove the cloud access for that user?

No, there is not. I click on the user in my cloud access and there is only an invite button. I can’t find any way to remove them from the list, so anyone I have ever invited is still listed, even if I’ve removed access (at least I think I have). I was migrated into OS 5, which was a pretty painful experience. The user interface is so clunky and un-intuitive that I tend to give up and avoid dealing with it. The users were people I’d shared some event videos with before migration. I don’t remember now if migration affected this.

You can remove users via the User tab.

I’ve done that, these are not listed on that tab.

Have you tried going through the Mycloud.com web portal for remote access and seeing if you can remove the invited users through that interface?

Otherwise you may have to contact WD Support directly (possibly open a trouble ticket/case) to see if they can remove the invites from their end. No idea if a 40 second pin reset will remove the invites but it is an option to try if you haven’t done so already.
