Canvas iOS - Managing "My Files" Using the Canvas iOS app.
You can manage all the personal files in your Canvas account in the Canvas app. If necessary, you can manage My Files to clear up space within your course account.
- The Unfiled Folder stores documents, graphics, and any other files from your account that you have posted to different areas of Canvas, such as Discussions. Deleting these items within current courses may create broken links and submissions.
- You cannot delete files that have been submitted as an assignment.
