A Quick Guide Using FILES ONLY

If you're running out of space or simply want to tidy up your file storage on RunDiffusion, you're in the right place. This article will show you exactly how to delete files using the FILES ONLY application. It's a simple and safe process. Shared files won't count against your storage.

5. Delete Unnecessary Files

  • Browse through these folders.
  • To delete files first, click to select the ones you wish to remove. You can select multiple files by holding the Ctrl key and clicking each file individually, or hold the Shift key and click two files to select all files between them.
  • With the files selected you can then click on the delete icon at the top which looks like a trash can. WARNING: Once deleted we can't recover your files so be sure to backup and download important files before deleting.

Feel free to delete anything—shared files will be automatically restored in your next session. These do not count against your personal storage quota.
