How to Delete Attachments in Confluence

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove unwanted file attachments from a Confluence page.

Quick summary

To delete attachments in Confluence, navigate to the page containing the file, then either press Backspace after clicking the attachment or use the three-dot menu to select Delete. Both methods permanently remove the attached file from the Confluence page.


Steps

  1. Go to the Confluence page where the file is attached.
  2. Find the file you want to delete on the page.
  3. Click the attachment to select it, then press Backspace to delete it.
  4. Alternatively, click the three-dot menu below the attachment and choose "Delete" to remove it.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping Confluence pages free of outdated or incorrect attachments is essential for accurate team documentation and clean knowledge management. Confluence does not automatically purge old files, so knowing how to manually delete attachments prevents version confusion and reduces storage clutter. Teams that regularly audit and remove unnecessary file attachments maintain faster, more navigable wikis that support better collaboration. This capability is especially valuable for project managers and space admins responsible for keeping Confluence spaces organized and up to date.
