Can I remove document(s) from Datashare?

In local mode, you cannot remove a single document or a selection of documents from Datashare. But you can remove all your projects and documents from Datashare.

Open the menu and on the bottom of the menu, click the trash icon:

A confirmation window opens. The action cannot be undone. It removes all the projects and their documents from Datashare. Click 'Yes' if you are sure:

For advanced users - if you'd like to do it with the Terminal, here are the instructions:

  • If you're using Mac: rm -Rf ~/Library/Datashare/index

  • If you're using Windows: rd /s /q "%APPDATA%"\Datashare\index

  • If you're using Linux: rm -Rf ~/.local/share/datashare/index
