Delete files – folders – file communities

How do I delete content within the AKO/DKO Files page?

You will need to have administrator access to the content that you wish to delete.

Author Access

If you only have author access to a file or folder, you can only delete content that they have uploaded. Anything that anyone one else uploaded, they will need administrator rights to delete it.

If the Administrator of the folder has the security settings set to where you need approval to post documents, your request to delete a file or folder will need to be approved by the administrator as well.

How to Delete Content

Follow the steps below to delete any content within AKO/DKO:

Log into AKO/DKO.
