Deleting transfers
If you no longer need a transfer to be available, you can delete it before its expiry date. Deleting a transfer permanently removes all associated files from PDFStore's servers and disables the share link.
How to delete a transfer
- Log in and go to your dashboard.
- Find the transfer you want to delete.
- Click the delete or revoke button on the transfer.
- Confirm the deletion when prompted.
What happens after deletion
- All files in the transfer are permanently deleted from our servers.
- The share link will no longer work. Anyone who visits it will see a message that the transfer is no longer available.
- The storage space used by the transfer is freed up, reducing your active storage usage.
Can I undo a deletion?
No. Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. Once files are deleted, they cannot be recovered. If you need to share the same files again, you will need to create a new transfer.
Why delete a transfer early?
There are several reasons you might want to delete a transfer before it expires:
- The recipient has already downloaded the files and you want to free up storage space.
- You sent the wrong files and want to remove them.
- You no longer want the files to be available for download.
- You are approaching your active storage limit and need to make room.
