How to Permanently Delete Adobe XD Documents and Files from Cloud Storage

If you're looking to permanently delete Adobe XD documents or files from your cloud storage, there are a few steps you need to follow to ensure the deletion process is completed. This guide includes detailed instructions for both Adobe XD documents and files stored in cloud storage platforms like iCloud Drive or the Adobe Creative Cloud web interface.

Deleting Adobe XD Documents

Deleting an Adobe XD document is relatively straightforward. Ensure you follow these steps carefully to avoid accidental data loss:

Open Adobe XD Navigate to your Adobe XD files and locate the document you wish to delete. Select the document by hovering over its thumbnail. You should see a set of options appear. Click on the three dots ellipsis, or right-click the document thumbnail, and select Delete from the dropdown menu. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes or Delete in the confirmation dialog box that appears.

Worth noting is that once a document is deleted, particularly if it is stored in the Adobe Creative Cloud, it can also be deleted from the Creative Cloud web interface after logging in and navigating to the files section.

Delete Files from Cloud Storage

Deleting files from cloud storage platforms such as iCloud Drive is also a simple process. Follow the steps outlined below to delete files permanently:

Sign in to the iCloud web interface. Select the files or folders you want to delete. Click on Delete from the right-hand side options. In the confirmation pop-up window, click Delete to permanently delete the files.

If you're using the Files app on a mobile device to delete files from iCloud:

Open the Files app. Tap on Browse under the Locations tab. Select iCloud Drive. Tap on the Select button and choose the files or folders you wish to delete. Tap Delete. Go to the Recently Deleted section and repeat the Select and Delete process if necessary. Remember that deleting a document or file is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Always ensure that you no longer need the file before proceeding with the deletion.

Auto-Save in Adobe XD

As of the initial release of Adobe XD, it offers several new features including auto-save. This means that the latest version of your document is automatically saved to the cloud, eliminating the need for manual saves. Auto-save also provides a layer of data protection, ensuring that data loss due to an OS or application crash is minimized.
