The software seems to be good...but the tech support is stupid.   Now I am either stupid ..or I dont see it... But how does someone delete a file from photoshop?  Like delete the entire project, not just undo, undo undo.

This answer does not work in the Photoshop CC interface (at least that I can find).  Can anyone explain in basic terms how to delete a file that appears on the opening sceen of Photoshop.  I don't have the 3 dots that should have a dropdown menu with "delete" anywhere to be found.  Thanks..

How do you simply . . . delete a Photoshop file? It is not clear, for such a simple function. I have PS 21 and the three dots box does not allow for a Delete function. Please help. Thank you.

Only one place I can see the Delete action on the Home Screen and involves Cloud Documents only.

 

Photoshop is an Image Editor and does not delete local files. You can either use Bridge CC 2022 (Free to install and use from your Creative Cloud Desktop App) or your own Windows/Mac File manager.

I've always disabled the home screen (don't want it) - but I assume if you go into preferences and set "recent files" to 0, they should be gone.

 

I'd strongly recommend using a proper file browser for file management instead of the home screen.
