Delete files and folders
To delete a file or folder, select them and click Delete in the top panel or context menu.
If there's no Delete button in the top panel, click 
→ Delete.
Files deleted from Yandex Disk end up in the Trash and still take up space on your Yandex Disk. They will be automatically deleted after 30 days. To free up space, empty the Trash manually.
Restore files and folders from the Trash
You can restore deleted files and folders only if they're still in the Trash.
- Open the Trash.
- Choose the files or folders you want to restore.
- In the top panel, click Restore.
Alert
Once files are deleted from the Trash (automatically or manually), we can't recover them: emptying the Trash permanently deletes its contents from Yandex's servers.

Files in the Trash still take up space on Yandex Disk. There are two ways to empty the Trash:
- Open the Trash.
- Click the Empty Trash button.
- Open the Trash.
- Choose the files or folders you want to restore.
- In the top panel, click Delete permanently.
