Delete a box or terminate membership in the box

Deleting a Box

Only the creator of a box can delete that box forever.  If a box cannot be deleted, there may be locked files in the box. In this case, unlock the files and perform the delete operation again. When a member of a box with a guest or full license executes the Delete option, a message appears stating that this removes the user's own access to that box. The user thereby terminates his membership in this box. The box is then no longer visible in the box overview. However, it will still be available to the other members of the box.

If you have booked a sealed backup and subsequently activated data protection in the box, the deletion of a box cannot be undone. The content is irretrievably deleted..
