Deleting Files and Folders

Multiple files or single folders can be selected and deleted.

To delete files and folders:
A folder must be empty before it can be deleted. If it isn't, you must delete all files and folders in it before attempting to delete it otherwise an error message will be generated

1. Select the folders and/or files to delete by checking the items checkbox
2. Click the 'Delete' button
3. An alert dialog will be displayed requesting confirmation of the action. This is to prevent accidental deletion of an item. Click the 'Yes' button to confirm or 'No' to cancel.
   
   
4. The request is sent to the server and the dialog is closed.

If the request is unsuccessful, and error message will be displayed in the Manager dialog message bar. An unsuccessful deletion request will generate one of the following errors:

• Invalid Directory - The folder does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user just before your attempt.
• Unable to Delete Folder! - The folder's permissions may prevent it from being deleted or the server was unable to complete the request.
• Please delete all files/folders inside the folder you wish to delete first. - The folder is not empty. Only empty folders can be deleted.
• File Not Found! - The file does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user just before your attempt.
