Delete Files​

bulk-action

  2. Click the My Files section on the left panel.
  3. Select the file(s) you want to delete.
  4. Click the Open full menu button in the top center panel.
  5. Select Move to trash.
tip

To delete a file, you can also right-click on it and select the Move to trash option from the context menu, or select it and press Backspace.

The snack reads "Moved 1 item to trash" for one item and "Moved n items to trash" for several. Move to trash is offered in My Files, in your folders, in group folders and in Downloads.

Move an inbox to the trash​

Moving a folder that is an inbox to the trash asks first. The dialog is titled 'Move the inbox "name" to the trash?' and reads "Moving an inbox to the trash deletes all of its access points: their share links stop working, and the directory is removed from Inboxes. This cannot be undone." Click Move to trash to go ahead, or cancel to keep the inbox. Restoring the folder later does not bring its access points back. See Inboxes.

Restored items return to the top level of My Files, not to the directory they were deleted from. If My Files already holds an item with the same name, the restored one is renamed, for example "report (1).pdf". Restoring needs the permission to move items between directories.

Permanently deleted files cannot be recovered

Permanently deleted files and directories that you own are removed from the system and cannot be recovered. If the files or directories are shared with other users, those users lose access to them. Contact your admin before permanently deleting any file or directory.

Only items you own are destroyed. Items in your Trash that belong to someone else, such as files another user shared with you that you copied into your folders, are removed from your Trash, and the owner and the other people they are shared with keep them.
