deleting a file

[bobdavcav98]

I am blind, how do I remove a file I don't want anymore?

You can delete it through the file manager in your cPanel or through ftp.

Ok, one thing about deleting through file manager, how do I do it exactly? There is no delete link right by the file. To a screen reader user, the links appear as upload, download, edit, code editor and delete or something like that then the files. Ideally, it would say filename edit delete and whatever other options. Any suggestions? Maybe something could be done to improve this part of the interface? Also, why have I not been recieving emails when threads are updated? I thought I was subscribed to threads automatically?

File Manager:

There is a blue bar at the top that says File Manager, and then a link for settings, and then to the right it has a search function.
Below where is says File Manager, you'll see buttons that go in this order:
New File, New Folder, Copy, Move File, Upload, Download, Delete

To delete your file or files, click on that empty square to the left of the file you want to delete so that it's selected. Then go click the delete button.

As for doing something to improve the interface for the file manager, x10hosting can't do anything about. But I'm sure that cPanel would like to take your suggestions http://www.cpanel.net/.

Hi bobdavcav98,

While using File Manager or a FTP, you can also select the file or folder you want to delete and hit the DELETE key on your keyboard.

Make sure you have a backup in case something goes wrong, because once you delete the file or folder it’s gone for good, with no change to undo (unless you have a backup, of course)

Ok, thanks. I'll have to check out the subscribe thing as I thought that when you opened a thread you were automatically subscribed.
