Deleting a file will completely remove it from the system, therefore deleted files cannot be recovered.

When deleting files used on worksheets or other schedules, the file will be removed from the system and unreferenced from the worksheets/other schedule entries. Deleting a file with references will also delete the references; however, this functionality can be overridden in the Delete confirmation dialogue, which will convert each reference to an original file. Unfortunately, this will sever the reference between the files. If this is not intended, consider using the Move functionality explored below to move the original file to a better location.

Important

Deleting files referenced on worksheet/other schedule entries will affect the review status of the worksheet/other schedule.

Delete modal

Checked-out files cannot be deleted. If you wish to delete a checked-out file, you must first replace and check-in the file, or mark it as checked-in. Both these actions are explored further below.

To delete a file/files

  1. Head to the Files screen and navigate to the file(s) you wish to delete

  2. Select the file(s) you wish to delete.

  3. Click Delete in the action bar, optionally select to keep references as original files, and finally click Delete in the confirmation dialogue.
