Deleting a file

Files uploaded to a model can be deleted by authorised users. Deleting a file removes it from use across the model, including any associated Releases.

Who can delete a file

You must have permission to edit the model. If you lack authorisation, the delete option will not be available.

What happens when a file is deleted

Deleting a file will:

• Remove the file from the model, so it can no longer be downloaded
• Remove the file from all associated releases
• Remove related scan and artefact metadata

Releases remain, but will no longer reference the deleted file.

How to delete a file

1. Open the model
2. Navigate to the Files tab
3. Locate the file you want to delete
4. Open the file actions menu (⋮)
5. Select Delete File

Confirming deletion

A confirmation dialog is shown before deletion:

• If the file is used by releases, those releases are listed
• You must explicitly confirm to proceed

If an error occurs (for example, insufficient permissions), an error message will be displayed and the file will not be deleted.

After deletion

• The file is immediately removed from the model
• Associated releases are updated automatically
• The files list refreshes to reflect the change

About recovery

File deletion is intended to be final.

In rare and exceptional circumstances, platform administrators may be able to restore a deleted file. This is not a standard service and users should only request recovery if absolutely required.

Before deleting a file, ensure it is no longer required by any releases or users.

See Soft Deletion for more detail.
