Folders can be deleted when they are no longer needed.

Important: Folders must be empty before they can be deleted. 

To delete folders, do the following:

2. Navigate to the desired folder, hover over it, and click on the empty    checkbox. 
3. Click Manage > Remove.

Moving Files

Files and folders can be moved between and into other folders.

To move files or folders, do the following:

   • Note: Only one file can be renamed at a time.
3. Click Manage > Rename. 
4. Enter a new name for the file or folder.

Downloading Files

You can download files that have been uploaded to the File Manager. This may be handy in certain cases, such as downloading an image you edited through the File Manager.
