Delete assets

Assets can be deleted. This is useful if you have uploaded an asset by mistake or if an asset is no longer needed.

You can delete one or multiple assets when viewing a collection, or you can delete the asset you are currently viewing.

You can only delete the latest version of an asset. Asset versions marked as Moved/Deleted cannot be viewed or downloaded.

To delete an asset bundle, see Delete an asset bundle.

When an asset is locked in P4 Server, the asset is also locked in P4 DAM. Locked assets display a lock icon by the asset name. See Locked assets.
