Is there a way I can delete user storage folders from the admin portal? 
I have users who have left our company but still have a cloud folder and I would like to remove these.

Another question (might solve my first question) will removing users from our directory in the admin portal also delete their storage folder?

Hi there,

 

You can permanently remove an inactive user folder from the list of folders in the Inactive Users tab. Before permanently deleting a folder, you can transfer its contents to an active user and verify that the user has successfully claimed the content. Once permanently deleted, the content cannot be restored.

1. Select a folder in the Inactive Users list.

2. Click Permanently Delete.

3. From the list of options, choose one of the following, and then click Next:

  • Share content now: Folder content is sent to a designated user via email. If you choose this option, specify the email address of the designated user who receives the content.
  • Share content later: The folder content remains in the Inactive User tab until it is permanently deleted.
  • Permanently delete content: The folder is permanently deleted with no option to share the content.

For more information, see Reclaim assets from a user.

Transfer assets

 

4. Click Permanently Delete again to confirm the action.
