How can I delete a file from the File Manager?

Need to remove a file from your website? This quick guide shows you how to delete files using the WPX File Manager.

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.​

Step 2. Go to Control Panel

Once logged in:

  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
  2. Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.

If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.

Step 3. Launch the File Manager

Inside the Control Panel:

  1. Click FTP Users & Files in the left-hand menu.
  2. Then click the File Manager button in the newly opened tab.

Step 4. Delete a file

Navigate to the folder containing the file you want to delete. (For example: domains/wpxfilemanager.com/public_html)

Locate the file you want to delete, right-click on it, and select Delete from the dropdown menu.

A confirmation popup will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Click Delete to proceed.

You can delete multiple files at once:
Select all the files you want to remove (1), then click the Delete button (2) in the top menu.

That’s it! You’ve successfully deleted the selected file(s) from your WPX File Manager.
