I was an editor of a private Google Docs spreadsheet, and the current owner of the spreadsheet is another person. I cannot remember if I could move the spreadsheet to the recycle bin, but I could edit the permissions and I removed myself… After doing that, I can't move it to the recycle bin, nor unsubscribe from that document.
The documents are stuck in my folders. Unfortunately, I also have some web-public documents. Is there any way to unsubscribe myself from those documents completely?

If you click the checkbox beside an item you do not own and hit the
delete
button, it will tell you that it cannot destroy the document but will ask if you want to remove it from view. If you own the document, it will give you the option of trashing it for everyone or selecting a new owner.
