Hello, everyone! I love my Chromebook, but sometimes... man...
I have recently tried to delete lots of audio files to free up space from my limited storage. To my astonishment, there was no 'delete' option. Try as I may, it is just impossible, and I see such files (for instance, recordings I made myself, or general music) are all labelled as 'access restricted'. I can copy the files to an SD card, to my Google drive and so on, but the system just won't let me delete them! Why, it won't even allow me to create a new folder within 'audio' simply to organise the files better!!
Browsing through help topics, indeed, I've come across this:
"Files in Recent, Images, Videos and Audio folders are viewable only and can't be deleted directly in these folders".
My astonishment has only increased. Let's not discuss the 'why' in the question for now. I assume there is a way to delete the files 'indirectly', 'outside the folders'. Will anyone let me know how? Thank you so much.
