Hi, everyone.
How could I delete unused files that have been uploaded in Shopify?
To delete unused files that have been uploaded in Shopify, follow these steps:
Note that only files not currently in use by products, pages, or other store elements can be deleted. If a file is in use, you'll need to remove its association first (e.g., from a product description) before deleting it.

There is no 'Files' in Setting?
still no delete button
Hi @mythgreece,
To delete unused files in Shopify, go to your Shopify admin, then navigate to Content > Files. There you'll see all your uploaded files. Review them carefully, and for any file not in use, click the three dots next to it and select Delete. Make sure the file isn’t linked anywhere on your store before deleting, as Shopify doesn’t automatically track unused files.
Thanks!
there is no three dots ?
When you click over the image, the delete option will appear. @mythgreece
No, it didnt appear
Hello @mythgreece
If you go to the Content-Files section and select related unused files, you will see an option appearing in the top right upper corner of this page called Delete file/Delete files. After clicking this button, you will be able to delete the unused files.
If you fail to select the files on your Shopify admin page, it should be due to the version of the theme you are using. You may need to contact the Shopify Team for more details and figure out the cause code. Thank you!
