Delete Files from a Vault

Remove files, including any previous versions and historical data, from a vault.

You must be assigned the role of either Editor or Administrator to perform this action. Contact your vault administrator to verify your role. Users assigned the role of Administrator can delete unconditionally, overriding the rules for deleting children and files that are currently checked out.

Note: When you delete a file, you cannot recover it within the vault. All previous versions of the file and history information pertaining to that file is lost
