Remove vs. Delete Options

As you add photos and videos to Mylio, you may find files that don’t belong in your Mylio Library. Mylio’s direct control over your file system allows you to remove a folder and its contents from your Library (or delete it, when necessary).

Removing a Folder (and its Contents) From Mylio

When you Remove a folder from Mylio, the folder and its contents will no longer be displayed in your Mylio Library and will not be available to sync between your devices. However, that folder will still be on your hard drive and accessible via your system’s file browser.

*NOTE: Only top-level folders can be removed. For example, if you have a folder called Animals, and it includes two sub-folders called Zebras and Elephants, you can’t remove the Elephants folder without removing the top-level Animals folder (and its other sub-folders) as well.

1. Open Mylio and go to the Folders View.
2. Select a top-level folder to remove.
3. Open the Actions Menu in the Quick Actions Bar and select Remove Folder from Catalog.

*TIP: You can also remove a Folder from Mylio by right-clicking on the Folder you want remove and choosing Remove Folder from Catalog.

Deleting a Folder (and its Contents) From Mylio

When you Delete a folder from Mylio, the folder and its contents will be removed from your computer and all devices added to your Mylio account.

!WARNING: Deleting a folder or file is a permanent action and cannot be undone. The folder and its content will be removed from all devices associated with your Mylio account, including all Vaults.

1. Open Mylio and go to the Folders View.
2. Select a top-level folder to delete.
3. Press the Delete key on the keyboard or Open the Actions Menu in the Quick Actions Bar and select Delete Folder.

*TIP: You can also delete a Folder from Mylio by right-clicking on the Folder you want to delete and choosing Delete Folder.
