# Allow More Users to Delete Files

Manage files in Salesforce more efficiently by assigning the new Delete Salesforce Files permission to your users. With this permission, a user can delete any file that they have access to view. Previously, only a Salesforce admin or the file owner could delete a file. This feature was developed based on your idea on IdeaExchange.

**Where:** This change applies to Salesforce Files accessed through Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Group, Enterprise, Professional, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer editions.

**How:** Enable **Delete Salesforce Files** for a profile or permission set.
