You can unlink Drive Links on a Salesforce record from the Drive Links component. This will remove the linked file or folder from the Lightning component and give you the option to also move the Google Drive file to the trash if your user has permission to do so.

This feature is useful If you have linked the wrong file or a file no longer needs to be linked to a Salesforce record.

Admin Note: A Drive Connect linkage between a Salesforce record and a Google Drive file is represented in Salesforce as a ContentDocumentLink record. Choosing the Unlink option deletes the underlying ContentDocumentLink record associated with the Google Drive file, but does not delete the Google file/folder itself.
