Hi

Select the folder you want to remove the sharing off, and right-click to
access properties.
Choose SECURITY instead of SHARING tab and click on EDIT button.
Then on next dialog box select the account you want to change and click on
REMOVE button
or from the permission list remove the read checkbox.

Repeat for all your private folders.
