How do I delete files on my web hosting?

Procédure

I. Accessing the desired location

You can access the file manager directly from your hosting management in your LWS Panel account. We recommend that you follow this documentation to find out how to proceed.

Next, navigate to the destination folder where the item you want to delete is located.

1. Use the tree on the left side of the interface(1) to navigate to the folder where the items you want to delete are located.
2. Click on the folder(2) to open it and display its contents in the main panel(3).

II. Deleting items with the File Manager

• In the main panel, select the items you wish to delete(2).
• To delete several files, select them by holding down the Ctrl key (or Command key on the Mac) while you click.

• In the top navigation bar, click the"Delete" button(3). This action can also be accessed by right-clicking on the selected file and choosing'Delete' from the context menu.
• A confirmation window will open asking you to confirm the deletion.

• Read the confirmation window carefully to make sure you are about to delete the right file or files.
• Click "Confirm" to confirm the deletion.
• The selected file or files will then be deleted from the folder and disappear from the main panel.

III. Tips and Best Practice

• Check: Before deleting files, make sure they are no longer needed to avoid any major data loss.
• Backup: Consider backing up important files before deleting them, in case you need to restore them later.
• Multiple Select: To delete several files at once, select them all before clicking on the delete option.
