ownCloud database hacking: How to revert unsharing of folder shared to a group

owncloudownCloud is a very nice tool for syncing and sharing files and folders in a workgroup or even company, basically it’s an open source replacement for Dropbox or Google Drive that runs on your own infrastructure.

A problem that may occur is when user Alice shares a folder „SHARED“ to a group „everybody“ (all the other users are members of this group).

Then user Bob clicks on the Recycle bin icon to „Unshare“ this folder for him/herself (he opts-out of this group-share even if he continues to be member of group „everybody“).
