Deleting Files
When you delete a file, it moves to the trash. To permanently remove it from your project, you'll need to delete it from the trash as well.
Files deleted from the trash cannot be restored, even using version history.
Tips: If you open the upload panel by double-clicking a box already placed on the page, the delete button won't appear.

Move your cursor over the file thumbnail in the upload panel.
Click the trash icon that appears to delete the file.
Deleting Multiple Files at Once:
Select all the files you want to delete.
Click the trash icon in the blue bar that appears at the bottom of the panel to delete them all at once.
Deleting Files from Trash
Select [Trash] from the folder menu at the top left of the upload panel.
Select the file (or folder) you want to delete and remove it.
Changing How Files Display in the Upload Panel
You can change the display method and sort order using the icons next to the search bar in the upload panel.
Changing the Display
You can choose between panel view or list view.
Sorting Files

Moving Files Between Folders
Hover over the file and check the box in the upper left of the thumbnail.
Click the folder move icon in the blue bar at the bottom of the panel, then select the destination folder.
