Command to Delete Local (Read-Only) Files within Workspace

Command to Delete Local (Read-Only) Files within Workspace

There should be a button to delete all read-only (not-checked-out) copies of files within the working folder. 

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Workspace Sync button only synchronizes the local files with those in Vault.  It does not seem to remove files which were downloaded but not checked out.  I would want a similar button, but instead of synchronizing the local workspace files with Vault, it found the ones that are not checked out and deleted them.

 

There are a lot of users who are just 'consumers' of the file and just end up with a local read-only copy that stays there forever unless they know to go delete the file from their workspace.

Workspace Sync will do this for you by setting the Expiration options.

And now bring a 'delete local file' option to Vault basic please.
