Deleting a file

You can delete one or more files at a time. When you delete a file, WebShare moves it to the trash. Emptying your trash permanently delete files.

You must have delete permission on a file in order to delete it. The owner of the deleted file or directory is the owner of the trash to which it goes.

To delete a file

  1. Navigate to the directory from which you wish to delete a file.
  2. Identify the file(s) you want to delete by selecting the checkbox to the left of the file(s).
    • Note: if you just want to delete one file, you can also click the Delete WebShare delete button to the right of the file name you want to delete.
  3. Click the Delete WebShare delete button.

To permanently delete all files within your trash

  1. Click the "Empty Trash" link located in the left navigation bar.
  2. Confirm that you wish to empty trash by clicking the Yes or No button.
