Delete Media File

Before you delete a media file from the account, there are a few things you should know:

  • Deleting a media file is permanent. If there’s any chance the file may be needed later, download a copy of it first.

  • A media file cannot be deleted while in use. Check to see if it’s being used anywhere, then update the auto-attendant route to use a different media file if needed.

To delete a media file, locate the file and click the Icon Trash Red.png trash icon on the right. When asked if you’re sure you want to delete it, click [Remove] to confirm.
