Hey @9383SamY, I’d be more than happy to help look into this with you!

 

I’ll just need a bit more info to make sure that I have a better understanding of your concern. For example:

  •  Where are you trying to delete the files from? The website, the desktop app, or the mobile app?
  • Are you getting any errors messages?
  • If so, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of it?

Keep me posted, thanks!
