About Deleting and Unlinking Files

You can unlink design objects from the parent folders they are associated within Connector for SOLIDWORKS or you can permanently delete them from the server.

Deleting Files from My Work

You can also delete folders and the workspaces that contain them. Deletion of folders and workspaces is always permanent. You can delete files and folders in My Work, but you cannot delete the My Work directory itself.

In Connector for SOLIDWORKS in the Windows Explorer view, designs appear as files in workspace folders and as files in your My Work folder. When you unlink files within a folder, the files disappear from the folder. However, they remain on the server as global objects that are not associated with workspaces. When you permanently delete the files, they disappear from the folder and from the server.
