Move designs to the trash


Keep your homepage and folders organized by deleting designs that you don’t need anymore.

  • If you only want to remove designs from folders you have access to, see how to manage folder contents.
  • Team admins and owners with the least View access to designs and folders can move and delete them.
  • Deleted designs will be kept in your Trash folder, where you can permanently delete them or recover them within 30 days of deletion.
  •  If you’ve deleted a design from Trash and more than 14 days have passed, it will be permanently deleted and can’t be recovered.
