Permanently deleting closed file requests

[mikeroberts3000]

I would like to permanently delete closed file requests. An identical issue was opened and marked as solved 2 years ago, but the underlying issue was never actually addressed.

I wanted to +1 this previous issue, but the reply button wasn't working. Moreover, because the previous issue is already (erroneously) marked as solved, I figured I might get more traction by opening a new discussion.

Cannot understand why 2 years and a half after the topic was opened, nothing has changed. It is that hard to develop and offer the ability to definitely remove a request file that is not used any longer ?

It seems like the dropbox interface and user experience has aged so fast in so little time. It does look so messy. Hopefully I'm not in for a paid subscription, otherwise I would have reconsidered using paying for that.

I work for a company, and was playing around with file requests.  I didn't know file requests were permanent!  Now whenever someone that works in the HR department needs to look at closed file requests there is one called "Potential Career".  Doesn't look great when that is sitting there.  Is there anyway we could get the ability to permanently delete those.

Permanently delete closed file requests.   A reasonable request. I thought Dropbox would help organize files. Having no ability to delete closed file request is not a good file management strategy. Not to mention taking up server space!

Please allow us to clear out old closed requests. Not being able to clean these out makes a mess of my Dropbox.
