Role Permissions

Navigate to the Files page from the left navigation sidebar.
Select your files:
- Single File: Click the row options menu (⋯) next to the file and click Delete.
- Bulk Deletion: Check the selection boxes on the left of multiple rows, then click Delete in the bottom selection toolbar.
Choose your Cascading Deletion Option:
- A confirmation dialog appears with a checkbox: "Delete attachments which were created with this/these files."
- Check the box: This will remove the file from your Files directory and delete all cloned copies from every linked asset, course, and work order on the platform.
- Leave the box UNCHECKED (Default): This removes the file from your Files directory but leaves the cloned copies intact on their assigned assets or work orders.
Click Confirm.
A green success banner confirms: "Files successfully deleted." and the rows disappear from your table.
