Delete files and folders

If you don't want a file or folder any more, you can delete it. When you delete an item it is moved to the Trash folder, where it is stored until you empty the trash. You can restore items in the Trash folder to their original location if you decide you need them, or if they were accidentally deleted.

To send a file to the trash:

• Select the item you want to place in the trash by clicking it once.
• Press ctrl + del onn your keyboard . Alternatively, drag the item to the Trash in the sidebar.

Permanently delete a file

You can immediately delete a file permanently, without having to send it to the trash first.

• Select the item you want to delete.
• Press and hold the shift key and then press del key on your key board .
• Because you cannot undo this, you will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the file or folder.
