Delete files and folders

When you delete a file or a folder, it goes to the Trash, where you can still get it back for 30 days. It is gone for good once you delete it permanently, or after those 30 days.

#Delete files or folders

1. Select the files or folders.

   See Select several files at once.

2. Click Delete in the selection bar, or right-click and choose Delete.

   You can also press Delete or Backspace.

   

Drime does not ask for confirmation: the items go straight to the Trash, and Moved 1 item to trash appears with Undo for a few seconds. Click Undo to put them back at once.

#What happens next

• Items in the Trash still count toward your storage.

• Their share links stop working while they are in the Trash. If you restore an item, its links and everyone's access come back.

• To restore an item, see Restore deleted files from the Trash.

#Delete for good

In the sidebar, open Trash, right-click the item and choose Delete permanently, then confirm in Delete permanently?. To delete everything in the Trash, click Empty trash.

This cannot be undone. Deleting an item permanently also removes its share links and everyone's access to it.

#Who can delete your files

People you share with can't delete your files: sharing never gives the right to delete. They can only leave the share. In a workspace, members whose role allows deleting can delete their colleagues' files. See What happens to a share when you move, rename or delete the item.
