Hello, 

When I uploaded files into Box, my company gave me waring and delete all files not to wait for 30 days. Can you immediately delete all of them as authority of controller?

  1. Hover to highlight the row of the item you want. The More Options ellipsis () displays.
  2. Click the ellipsis (...).  Then: 
  • To delete the item permanently, click Delete.
  1. At the prompt, click Okay.

If you don't have this option, please reach out to the owner. 

Thanks for posting!
