Delete and restore files and folders in My Folders
Weed out unwanted files and folders in My Folders by deleting them. If you make a mistake, though, you can restore them instantly. You'll never have to worry about accidentally deleting an important file again.
Move a file or folder to Trash
- Navigate to the left pane and click My Folders. The My Folders window will appear on the right.
- Right-click on the file or folder that you want to delete and select Move to Trash.
Alternatively, select a file or folder that you wish to delete, click the More actions (...) icon at the top, and choose Move to Trash.

Trashing files and folders that are shared with other team members will remove the files and folders for them, as well.

- Users on other plans (WorkDrive Essentials (Free), WorkDrive Starter, WorkDrive Team, Workplace bundle) need to upgrade to the WorkDrive Business plan to restore or permanently delete items using the Data Administration tab before the default 90 days retention period.
- For WorkDrive Business plan and Zoho One users, Admins can configure retention settings to automatically delete items from the Trash after certain days (7/15/30). Learn more about data retention policies.
