To remove the Tote feature, you need to ensure that no files from your Files App are currently "pinned to shelf" within the Tote. Once all files are unpinned, the Tote should disappear.
Removing the Tote Feature
Based on the provided information, the Tote feature, which often appears on the shelf (taskbar) of your device, will disappear automatically as long as you have no files from the Files App "pinned to shelf" within it.
The process involves accessing the Tote and unpinning any files that are currently shown there.
Steps to Remove Pinned Files from the Tote
Follow these simple steps to unpin your files and potentially remove the Tote:
- Click the Tote Icon: Locate and click on the Tote icon on your shelf. This will open the Tote area, showing any files or downloads it contains.
- Highlight a File: Inside the Tote, select or highlight one of the files that is currently displayed.
- Click the Unpin Icon: Look for an unpin icon associated with the highlighted file (this might look like a pin or thumbtack). Click this icon.
- Repeat for All Files: You must repeat steps 2 and 3 for all files currently listed within the Tote.
Once you have successfully unpinned all files from the Tote, the Tote icon itself should disappear from your shelf.
What to Do If the Tote Doesn't Disappear
If you have unpinned all files as described above, but the Tote icon remains visible on your shelf, you can try standard troubleshooting steps:
- Try a hard reset: Perform a hard reset on your device.
- Try a reboot: Simply restart your device.
These actions can often resolve minor software glitches and might cause the Tote to disappear as intended.
By ensuring no files are pinned in the Tote, you enable its removal from the shelf.
