Deleting & Restoring Files & Folders

Files and folders that you no longer need should be deleted to make more storage space available again. If you have accidentally deleted data, you can easily restore it within a week.

Deleting Files & Folders

Deleted files/folders remain in your trash bin for at least 30 days before they are permanently deleted. You can view the trash bin under “Deleted files” in the left menu.

Removing Files & Folders Shared with You

If you no longer need a file/folder that has been shared with you, you can delete the share. The file/folder is removed from your sciebo account, but remains with the owner.

  1. Click on the three dots next to the file/folder and select “Leave this share”.
  2. The file/folder is removed from your sciebo account. It is not moved to the deleted files to get it again; the person would need to reshare it with you.
