Question

Can I bulk delete files stuck in limbo on a new account?

When I opened my new account, I started uploading files before my payment method was fully approved. It took several weeks to complete that process, and during that time dozens of files ended up marked in red, but they are at “New Content” already.

As a beginner back then, I clearly misunderstood what “similar content” really meant. I only create seamless loops, but many of those early uploads were poorly tagged and described. I now understand that, even if the visuals are different, semantic similarity alone can cause rejections.

My question is simple:

  • Can I safely delete all those files that are still in limbo?

  • Is there any downside to deleting them, or should I just let them be rejected?

  • From my current understanding, they are very likely to be rejected anyway due to semantic issues, even if the content itself isn’t truly similar.

I’d like to clean things up properly and move forward with correctly described content.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

    You can delete them if they have not been submitted for review. There is no disadvantage. If they were submitted, you must wait until the review is completed. If they get approved, you can edit the metadata without resubmitting.
    And no, there is no bulk delete. You must do each individually.
