Removing an Editor frees up a paid seat on your Drive. You’ll still be billed for that seat until you manually reduce your seat count. Learn how to remove unused seats.

What happens to project access after removal

Removed members immediately lose access to any Drive projects they didn’t create or weren’t explicitly shared on. Newly added members will automatically gain access to projects shared with the entire Drive.
