Move files from the Library to the Trash

Moving files from the Library to the Trash frees up storage space in your library, but it doesn't automatically remove the files from any draft campaigns you've added the files to. Moving files to the trash also doesn't break the image or document URLs in any sent emails or published landing pages that include them, so you don't have to worry about missing images or broken links. You can always restore files from the Trash at any time too. 

Complete the following steps in list view:

1. Click Assets > Library.
2. (Optional) Click the file type or folder to help narrow your search
3. Check the box next to each image or document you want to remove.
4. Click Delete.
   
   
    
5. Click Delete files.
   
   
    

Complete the following steps in tile view:

1. Click Assets > Library.
2. (Optional) Click the file type or folder to help narrow your search.
3. Click the tile icon to switch to tile view. 
4. Check each image(s) or document(s) you want to remove.
5. Click Delete.
   
   
   
   
6. Click Delete files to confirm deletion. 
   
   

In addition to the Delete button, you can also drag individual image thumbnails into the Trash folder on the lower left-hand side of the page.

Did you know? If you accidentally delete the wrong image, you can restore it from the Trash.

Permanently delete files from the Trash

Permanently deleting files removes them from your Library, and breaks the image or document URL in any draft or sent campaigns you may have added them to, resulting in missing images or broken links. Permanently deleting a file doesn't automatically remove it from any draft campaigns, so it's important to replace the broken image or file before sending or sharing your emails and landing pages.

1. Click Assets > Library.
2. Click the Trash folder.
   
   
    
3. Select the files you want to permanently delete.
4. Click Delete Forever.
   
   
    
5. Click Delete files to confirm.
   
   
    

Did you know? Images and files that are permanently deleted can't be restored, but you can upload them into the Library again at any time, as long as you have the storage space.
