Deleting multiple designs and uploads in Canva can be a time-saving technique, especially when you have a large number of files that you no longer need.

By deleting multiple uploads at once, you can remove unnecessary files from your Canva account and make it easier to find the files you actually need. So in this article, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of how to delete multiple designs and uploads in Canva.

How to Delete Multiple Designs in Canva

Step 1: Log in to your Canva account

To delete multiple designs in Canva, you need to first log in to your Canva account.

Step 2: Go to Projects

Once you are logged in to your Canva account, you will need to access your projects. To do this, click on the “Projects” menu located on the left-hand side of the Canva dashboard.

Step 3: Access your Design Files

After you have access to your projects, you will now need to access your designs. Simply click on the “Designs” tab from the top. This will show you all of your design files that you have worked on or are currently working on.

Step 4: Select Multiple Files

Inside the Designs tab, you will see a grid view of all your design files. To select multiple design files, simply click on the checkbox located at the top left corner of each file. As you click on the checkboxes, you will notice that the selected files are highlighted.

Step 5: Delete Selected Files

Once you have selected the design files you want to delete, click on the “trash” icon located at the bottom of the page. A confirmation modal box will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion.

Click on the “Move to Trash” button again to confirm the deletion.

And that’s it! You have successfully deleted multiple design files in Canva. Now let’s take a look at how you can delete multiple uploads in Canva.

In order to delete multiple uploads, you need to follow almost the same steps as shown above. The only thing you need to do is access your uploads in “Step 3.”.

Click on the “Uploads” option. This will take you to the “Uploads” page, where all your uploaded files are stored.

Once you open the uploads page, you will see a grid view of all your uploaded files. Now select multiple files by clicking on the checkbox located at the top of each file.

After selecting multiple files, click on the “trash” icon to delete the multiple uploads. A confirmation popup will appear once you click on the trash icon, so simply click on the “Move to Trash” button to confirm your deletion.

This is how you delete multiple designs and uploads in Canva. But after deleting your designs or uploads, you have to remember that the deleted items are not permanently deleted. In order to permanently delete it, head to the trash area and delete the files from there.

Here’s how you can permanently delete the designs and uploaded files:

Open the trash page by clicking on the “Trash” menu located on the left-hand side of the Canva dashboard.

Once you open the trash page, you will see a grid view of all your deleted files. Now, in order to permanently delete the files, you will need to delete each file individually.

Hover your cursor over each file and click on the more icon, then click on the “Delete Permanently” option from the drop-down list.

And that’s it! This is how you permanently delete files in Canva. Repeat these steps if you want to delete all files permanently.
