Deleting Folders

You can delete folders by first moving all of the samples out of the folder. After this you will be able to delete the folder. From the dashboard, click beside the folder name and on the top right, click the trash bin icon.

Deleting Samples

If you need samples in your account removed, please do the following:

  1. Create a folder called "Trash" (or a similar name)
  2. Move your samples to the "Trash" folder
  3. Contact us at support@cosmosid with the email of your account and the folder name ("Trash") that contains the samples you would like removed from your account.
