Delete a file

Once submitted to FACT, your files are retained in the system for audit and historical purposes; they cannot be removed, even if submitted accidentally. As your file count increases, you may want to clean up your reports. Deleting files allows you to remove old, unused, or mistakenly submitted files from the file list, making the reports you use daily more manageable.

1. Use the Files menu in the sidebar to navigate to the Submitted Files page.
2. Locate the file you want to delete.

   • Click the check box to the left of each file you want to delete.
   • Click the check box in the list heading to select all files.
4. Click the Move to Trash button.
   The selected file now appears in the Trash report.
