Delete media with SFTP

Required: You'll need a standard file transfer protocol (FTP) app to connect and manage content for your site. There are many third-party FTP apps available; we recommend FileZilla.
Note: These steps assume you're using the FileZilla FTP app. If you're using a different app you'll want to use the instructions provided by the app developer to access SFTP.
  1. Sign in to your site with an FTP client (If you don't know your SFTP info, you can follow these instructions to view your hostname, username and change your password).
  2. In the Remote site area of FileZilla, select the folder your media is stored in.
    Note: In a WordPress site, the media files are stored within the wp-content/uploads/ folder. The media is further distributed into folders based on when you uploaded the media files. As an example, if you upload media in January of 2025, the folder will be wp-content/uploads/2025/01.
  3. Select the media you want to delete, right-click on your selection, and select Delete.
    ALT TEXT
  4. Read the pop-up message warning about deleting the media from the server, and then, select Yes.
