# 6.2.4 Remove Files from a Task

The "Remove Files" feature lets users delete attached files from a task. This feature is useful when a file is no longer needed, outdated, or uploaded by mistake. 

Removing unnecessary files helps keep the task page clean and organized and avoids confusion and clutter. Additionally, it can save storage space and reduce the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.

### Steps to Use:

* Select a **task**. The **task modal page** opens.
* Click the **down arrow button of** the **Attachment**,  
* You will see the **attached files.**
* Choose which **file** you want to **remove**. 
* Click the **Remove button** at the right of the file.
* The file will be removed.
