# How Do I Rename Move Or Delete A Folder Or File?

When managing your storage, there may be times when you need to rename, move or delete a folder or file.

- Renaming or moving a folder will change the location of the files that are stored in the folder. By default, any labs using a file within that folder are updated with the new location.
- For a file that is changed, any lab using that file are updated with the new information.
- In order to delete a file, the folder must be empty, and the file not used in any labs.
