cannot delete design

Hi,

 

I  want to delete this file but it said cannot be deleted since still in use.

I did open and make minor change, save and close it but still cannot delete it. Went to my account website but still cannot delete.

I can rename it and move it to another folder but still cannot delete it after I moved to another folder.

Could you help ?

I wish I could help you but I have the same problem. When I saved it I accidentally clicked on another file, which populated the file name box with the existing file, so I cleared out the existing file name and entered a new name and saved it. Somehow I think the 2 files are now linked (even though no links are apparentin the browser), because when I would render it the first auto-generated image name would have the name of the older (and unrelated) file.

If a file has any "version" that is used anywhere, you cannot delete it.  Say you have has 12 versions and number 8 was two months ago and that version was linked, if you do not find that version link, you cannot delete the file.  This is a major problem for Fusion 360 file management and they "say" they are addressing it.  I created a folder with files of this type where I move them for the day when this issue is fixed.

Actually that file is the only file in my fusion360.
That's why I keep wondering how come I cannot delete it.
