Rename and delete files
In this second tutorial on the file manager, you will learn how to correctly rename and delete files.
To do this, open the file manager via CMS ⯈ Files.
Rename files
Select the newly created file and rename it. By changing the name, you directly change the designation of the file in the system.
If the file is already linked on your website, you must adjust all existing links to this file after renaming.
If the file is newly created and not yet linked, there are no connections. In this case, you can ignore the warning.
Delete files
Next, the tutorial shows you how to remove files when they are no longer needed.
If the file has already been linked in the system before deletion, those links will no longer work afterwards. Adjust the links on your website or remove them completely.
