Index

To delete an attachment, you require 'Remove Attachments' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.

To delete an attachment,

  1. Go to the page that contains the attachment.

  2. Go to the 'Attachments' view for the page. To do this:

    • Go to a page in the space, open the 'Tools' menu and select 'Attachments'. The 'Attachments' view will open.

    This will display a list of the attachments in the page. Click on the 'Remove' link beside the attachment you want to delete.

  3. Click 'OK' to confirm your action.

    Is it possible to recover deleted attachments in the same way it is for pages or is it a physical delete as opposed to a logical delete?

      Hi Russell,

      It is not possible to recover the attachment in the same way it is for pages/blog posts. Attachment that has been deleted in Confluence will be removed from the storage location. However, if you have regularly backup your Confluence instance, there is a possibility that you can recover deleted attachments:

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Azwandi

    I am using version 2.9.1, and when I go to the Attachments view of the page I want to remove an attachment from, I do not see a Remove link/button. There's an Edit link and an Add more attachment link but that's all. 

    Also, why do the attachments that are converted during doc import look so much worse that the ones you manually attach, one at a time? Any way to fix this in the wiki -- in configuration or something?
