and files that are inside the listed folders.
Setting file-deletion permissions
You can allow users to delete pages from the web server. When determining if users should be
able to remove a page from the website, carefully consider if you want to maintain a backup copy
of deleted pages.
If you do want to maintain backup copies, you must make sure that the Contribute rollback
feature is enabled. To learn more about web page rollbacks, see "Enabling and disabling
rollbacks" on page 155.
To let users delete files from the web server:
In the Permission Group dialog box, select Folder/File Access from the category list on the
1
left. (See "Accessing the Permission Group dialog box" on page 168.)
Select Allow users to delete files they have permission to edit.

You can also choose to remove any rollback files associated with a page by selecting Remove
3
rollback versions on delete. Carefully consider if you want to maintain backup copies of
web pages before allowing users to delete both an active web page and any rollbacks
versions of that page.
You can either select another permissions category to modify or click OK to apply your changes.

Tip: If a user deletes a file, but not the rollback copies of the file, the file can be resurrected using the rollback copy.
For more information, see "Replacing a deleted web page" on page 199.
