How Do I Delete Media from Canva?

Published in Canva Tutorials 2 mins read

To delete media from Canva, select the "Move to trash" option after locating the media file you want to remove. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Steps to Delete Media:

  1. Locate the Media File: Find the image, video, or other media you want to delete within your Canva design or uploads.
  2. Access the Options: Tap the "More" icon (usually represented by three dots) associated with the specific media file.
  3. Select "Move to trash": From the menu that appears, choose the "Move to trash" option. This will move the media to your trash folder.

Bulk Deletion:

If you need to delete multiple media files simultaneously:

  1. Tap and Hold: Tap and hold on one of the media files you want to delete. This will usually activate a multi-select mode.
  2. Select Multiple Files: Select all the other media files you want to delete.
  3. Delete: Look for a delete or trash icon that appears, and tap it to move all selected media to the trash.

Important Considerations:

  • Trash Folder: Deleted media is usually moved to a trash or recycle bin within Canva.
  • Permanent Deletion: Media in the trash folder may be automatically and permanently deleted after a certain period (e.g., 30 days). Be sure to check Canva's specific policy.
  • Restoration: Before permanent deletion, you may be able to restore items from the trash folder.
