Your media assets can be deleted from the Asset Library if they are no longer required. Once an asset has been deleted it will no longer appear in the Asset Library and can no longer be used.
If you'd prefer to keep the asset, you can change who can access it instead of getting rid of it. You can read more about this in Changing who can see and use media assets you've uploaded.
An asset can only be deleted once it has been removed from all of the Projects it is being used in. You may need to check which Projects are using the asset and remove it from them before it can be deleted from your library.
| Caution: Once you delete an asset, it cannot be recovered. |
