How do I delete files from my Dropbox account?
To delete files from a Dropbox account, a user must first log in to their account through the Dropbox website or app. Once logged in, the user should navigate to the folder containing the file they wish to delete. After locating the desired file, the user can select it by clicking on the checkbox next to the file name or by simply clicking on the file itself.
Following the selection, the user can find the delete option, which is typically represented by a trash bin icon or labeled as "Delete." Clicking this option will prompt the user to confirm the deletion. It is important to note that when a file is deleted, it moves to the "Deleted files" section, where it can be restored for a limited time if needed. To permanently delete a file, the user must access the "Deleted files" section and choose the option to permanently delete the file from there. For additional assistance, users may want to review the Dropbox help section on their website.
