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.
