Removing Offline files from mobile device

wlcutler

I have all of a sudden run out of space on my Samsung Android phone. My cache shows as empty. My next thought is to remove some of the files I have downloaded for Offline viewing.

 

1. Do I have to do this one-by-one each file in the folder?

 

2. When I select the dropdown next to a file, there is a Delete option. When I click that, it says "Are you sure you want to remove this file from your Dropbox?". I do not want to delete it from the Dropbox that is out there on the internet and is on my desktop. I assume that answer is "no".

 

I see the Available offline toggle. Do I have to toggle them one-by-one, each of the 200 or so files?

When I did some, I saw that the amount of cache increased. When I cleared it, the total amount of space on the phone did not decrease any. How do I realize the free space from not having those files available Offline?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

the answer to question (1) is 'yes'.

You have to toggle each file in the folder. It is a bit annoying when you have a lot of files.

 

the answer to question (2), as you already know, is 'no'.

That 'delete' is the deletion of of the file from your dropbox account.
