Removing hosted files
You can remove one or more selected databases with Closed status or delete empty subfolders.
The selected databases are moved to the folder Removed_by_FMS/Removed. The
Removed_by_FMS/Removed folder is created inside either the default Databases folder
or the
additional database folder, depending on which folder the selected databases are in.
The following table shows examples of where hosted databases are moved to after they are
removed:
To remove one or more databases:
1. Choose Databases.
2. Open the Databases folder or the additional database folder, if required.
3. Select one or more Closed databases.
4. For Actions, select Remove.
5. Click Perform Action.
6. Click Yes to remove the selected databases.
Note If you remove a hosted file, upload
a file with the same filename, and remove the second file,
then FileMaker Server overwrites the first removed file with the second removed file.
To delete empty subfolders:
1. Choose Databases.
2. Select one or more empty subfolders in the list.
You must remove all files from a subfolder before you can delete it.
3. For Actions, select Remove.
4. Click Perform Action.
5. Click Yes to remove the empty folder.
The selected empty folders are deleted, not moved as when a database is removed.
