Delete files or folders from a project



You can delete files or folders in Adobe Bridge or in Finder or Explorer. Deleting a file or folder from Version Cue is a two-step process that safeguards against accidental deletions.

The first step is deleting the file or folder and giving it Deleted status. Deleting hides the file or folder from normal view but does not erase it. The second step is permanently deleting and erasing the file or folder and its previous versions.

Note: Any user with appropriate privileges can delete files and folders unless the files or folders are marked as Checked Out. If you’re in a workgroup and a user is editing a file that you need to delete, you can reset the file’s lock by using Version Cue Server Administration.

In Adobe Bridge, you can view project files with Deleted status in Project Trash view. You can restore files or folders that have Deleted status to reinstate Version Cue management. Restored files and folders appear in their previous location in the project folder hierarchy.

Delete files or folders in Explorer or Finder

  1. Open the Version Cue server project in Finder or Explorer.
  2. Select the file or folder you want to delete and drag them to the Trash folder.
