DELETE FILES PERMANENTLY FROM CLOUD STORAGE

Search

Last updated on Apr 13, 2023

Out of storage space? Learn about our 30-day retention period for deleted files
and how to remove unused files and assets to free up your cloud storage space. 



WHY SHOULD I DELETE FILES PERMANENTLY FROM CLOUD STORAGE?

When you reach the  maximum number of files or folders  that can be stored in
your Creative Cloud account,  you may get an error preventing you from adding
new items in your cloud storage. To fix this issue, permanently delete any files
and folders you don't need and free up your storage space.


30-DAY RETENTION PERIOD FOR DELETED FILES


We are changing how we process deleted files and folders to improve your
Creative Cloud storage quota. Beginning June 4, 2023, we will start rolling out
a new removal process for files in your Creative Cloud Deleted folder. Once
implemented, deleted files will be permanently removed after 30 days. Any files
older than 30 days already there in your Deleted folder will also be permanently
removed.

Note that files in the Deleted files will continue to consume space till they’re
permanently removed. Read on to find out more about how to immediately remove
files from the Deleted folder if you're out of storage space. You can
also recover deleted files at any time before they’re permanently deleted. 

Note:

When you permanently delete files from the Deleted folder, you cannot restore
them.


DELETE FILES PERMANENTLY FROM CREATIVE CLOUD

 1. Sign in to the Creative Cloud website. 
    

 2. In the side navigation, select Deleted.
    
    Left sidebar view of the Creative Cloud interface showing the Deleted
    option.
    
    

 3. Select the files or folders that you want to permanently remove from the
    cloud, and then select   Permanently delete.
    
    
    Note:
    
    Press Shift + Right Arrow key (→) to select multiple files or folders to
    delete.
    
    
    Right-click view of the image showing the Delete permanently option.
    
    

 4. Once you get the confirmation message, select Delete Permanently.
    
    
    Dialogue box showing the confirmation message for permanently deleting
    files.
    
    
    
    Note:
    
    Make sure that you only close the browser window once all your selected
    files are deleted.
    

Caution:

To free up your space quota by removing synced presets in Adobe Photoshop,
disable Preset Syncing. You'll be presented with a confirmation message asking
whether to keep your currently synced presets or to delete them from your
account. Select No to remove any Photoshop presets that are currently synced
from the Creative Cloud. To learn more, see Sync Photoshop Presets.

    then select Restore.
    
    Note:
    
    Press Shift + Right Arrow key (→) to select multiple files or folders to
    restore.

   You can control how Adobe websites use cookies and similar technologies by
   making choices below. But note that if you disable cookies and similar
   technologies entirely, Adobe websites may not function properly.

 * What are cookies and why does Adobe use them?
   
   Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you use
   websites. There are also other technologies that can be used for similar
   purposes like HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects, web beacons, and
   embedded scripts. These technologies help us do things like remembering you
   and your preferences when you return to our sites, measure how you use the
   website, conduct market research, and gather information about the ads you
   see and interact with.

 * How do I make choices?
   
   You can make choices in the menu below about what cookies and other
   technologies you want us to use on Adobe sites when you visit them from this
   browser. You can always change those choices later by clicking on the Cookie
   Preferences link at the bottom of the page.




IF ENABLED:

 * We can improve your experience by tailoring the site and the content to
   things we think might be of interest
 * We can better keep track of your preferences — like what language you prefer
   to use
 * We will better understand your likely interests so we can provide you more
   relevant Adobe ads and content on non-Adobe websites and in non-Adobe apps
 * It will help us improve the performance of our website and those of our
   partners who use the Adobe Experience Cloud


IF DISABLED:

 * We won’t be able to remember you from session to session so the experience
   may not be tailored to your interests
 * You’ll still have access to the content of the site but certain features that
   depend on cookies may not function
 * You’ll still see ads, they just may not be as relevant to you
