To delete a document, click **Del** next to the document on the documents list page. Alternatively, click **Delete** on the documents detail page.

You can restore the document to your document library within that time by clicking **Undelete** from the Recycle Bin.

- You can delete any document in your personal folder and folders with “Public Folder Access” set to “Read/Write.” To delete a document in a public folder with “Public Folder Access” set to “Read Only,” you need “Manage Public Documents” permissions.
- If you delete a document that's included in a letterhead or HTML email template, emails using the letterhead or template display a broken link. You can fix the broken link by removing the document from the Recycle Bin.
- You can't delete a document that's being used as a custom logo in meeting requests. To delete it, you must either select another document to use as a logo or uncheck the option to display a custom logo in meeting requests.
