How do i delete old files from Content Viewer on iPad

Apr 2, 2012 12:10 PM

Tags: #adobe #content #files #delete #viewer

I need to delete the old test files I have uploaded when I was in a testing phase. Everytime I lauch Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad it is cluttered with old stuff. Archive means space is being wasted somewhere saving the files. (maybe the adobe servers) i just want to permanently delete the files. Is this possible?

 

Thank you!

Shawn

    Did you create those old test files using the Content Bundler from prerelease days? If so, you can only remove them using the Content Bundler, which is still available on the old DPS prerelease site. You can't use it on the same computer in which the Folio Producer tools are installed.

    Thank you for the quick reply-

    I created these folios in the past few weeks so I think they would not be from prerelease days. I logged into my account and launched Folio Producer Organizer and deleted the folios there - but my Content Viewer iPad App still shows test files i made last week. Anyway to delete these?

    Ah, in that case, archiving the folios removes them permanently from your iPad. It would be nice if the Archive button changed to "Delete" if the folio has been removed from the server.

    On an iPhone you swipe right or left over the folio to reveal the archive button to archive a folio.

     

    What do you mean archive button is not there on iPad? What are the options you see?

    Thanks Lohrii! I got it.

     

    I meant the iPad "archive" button is not there... "on iPhone"!


    On iPad I always have "archive" and "view"
