Hi, 

By mistake, I uploaded one of the files which was not requested on Box. How can I delete it because I am not able to see delete option on the website?

Please help me to delete it.

Thanks!

    Hi Vilina, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    If you do not see the "Delete" option in a Box folder you joined, it's likely you do not have the permission to do so.

    In order to delete a file in a collaborative folder, you must have a permission such as Editor, Co-owner or the Owner of the folder. To learn more about different permissions in Box, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels 

    I would suggest reaching out to the folder owner and ask for assistance if they can delete the item you've mistakenly upload or request if they can change your permission to an Editor or Co-owner in order to perform this action.

    Let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to help!

    Best Regards,
