Delete files or folders from a project

Note: You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set. See Accessing Version Cue features.

You can delete files or folders in Bridge or any Version Cue-enabled Creative Suite component. 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 or In Use (Acrobat). 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 Bridge and Version Cue-enabled components of Adobe Creative Suite, 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.
