Deleting files from AutoCAD Web & Mobile

[allenoliverjones]

I'm trying to remove old files saved on the cloud, and cannot figure out how to delete them.  Any suggestions?

Hover over a file for a check box to appear, select it, a DELETE option shows up, tap that:

I am online at web.autocad.com/recents and I see the list of all the drawings I saved to the mobile app, but I can't delete any. When I hover over them, no check box appears. If I right click on one of them, my options are "Open", Open File Location" and "Remove from List". Any suggestions? Thanks

Hover? I have to right-click to remove files from that RECENT list.

Yes, I can right click and "Remove from List", but that doesn't delete them, it only hides them from view. In my AutoCAD program if I use the OPENFROMWEBMOBILE command, they are still there.

Ah, did you know  "OPENFROMWEBMOBILE" is not a files-laden folder? It refers to the list of recently accessed files that AutoCAD automatically keeps track of.

You cannot directly delete individual files from the "OPENFROMWEBMOBILE" list; you need to clear the entire list by setting the recent file count to 0 How to clear the recent documents list in AutoCAD
