FAQ about deleting audio
Can I recover a recording after I delete it?
Yes, as long as it is still in the trash. Open Trash from the Files page, select the recording, and restore it. Once you delete a file permanently from the trash, it cannot be recovered.
Does deleting a recording free up storage?
Moving a recording to the trash does not free up your storage. To free up space, delete the file permanently from the trash.
Can I recover a permanently deleted recording if cloud sync is off?
No. Without Private Cloud Sync, the recording exists only in the Mobile App and has no cloud backup. Once permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered. Turn on Private Cloud Sync before deleting if you may need the file later.
