Did you delete the button or just remove the link from the button, @mikomiko? Deleting the button element you used to upload a file should delete the file, but only removing the link won't.

Deleting a file is done by deleting the element you used to upload it originally. I can manually delete files for you, though, @mikomiko. Which files in specific did you need removed?

The best place to send a list of files is to our customer success team, @jingbo:

To Weebly Admin

Hi Can you also do the same to the file i uploaded long time ago. I didnt know the signatures in the letters I uploaded for our conference/seminar can be extracted from the file I uploaded.

I unpublished already the website in weebly but it is still searchable and is linked to the old weebly account of our department..

Hoping for your attention and favorable response.

Hi @franciscampena It looks like the site is published. Do you still want us to delete those two files? Please keep in mind that if we delete from the server we will not be able to recover.

This is a late response. Yes Please delete the two files. I have not checked the site for quite some time now and just revisited the site. Since my institution now uses a different Learning Management System, I can no longer maintain this personal website for my students.

Also is there a way for me to download all the files I have in the website and late unpublish the site?

Thank you and warm regards,

Thanks for reaching out, @franciscampena We can only delete files if you provide the full file url. 

We'll put in a request to have these ones removed. If you find others, please send one of us mods a private message with the additional links.

I also have a ton of old files that are readily available anytime i want to link to a file.  I need to remove only one. The original button has been deleted but anyone with the link can still access the file.

If you let our Customer Success team know the URL of the file they can remove that for you, @rkduke:

Thank you, Adam for the response.

There are now too many files to go through.  It would be easier if we could do it at the time we upload the replacement file.

Unfortunately, no. At least nothing that will delete the files like you need. As long as you include the full file name when you contact support an agent should be able to quickly delete files for you.
