How Do I Force‑Delete an In‑Progress Source?

Sometimes a source can get stuck (e.g., a network glitch) or you know you really want it gone right away. In those cases you can force the delete.

  1. Locate the source in your list of uploads.

  2. Click the three‑dot menu (⋮) next to it and choose Delete.

  3. A confirmation dialog appears:
    Stating “This source is currently being processed”.

  4. Check that box “Force Delete" and click "Delete".



    Quick Tips

    • Why use Force Delete?

      • The source is stuck in a “processing” state and won’t finish on its own.

      • You need to free up storage or replace the file right away.

    • What happens after you force delete?

      • All data associated with that upload is permanently removed; it cannot be recovered.

    • Safety check:

      • Double‑check that you’re deleting the correct item—once forced, there’s no undo.
