# [AM2.0] - Bulk Delete Assets

This page explains how to select and delete multiple assets at once from the Assets listing in Contentstack. It is intended for users who manage assets in a space and need to remove multiple files efficiently, such as after a campaign or during a content audit.

## Bulk Delete Assets

Select and delete multiple assets at once from the assets listing. Bulk deletion is useful when you clear out files after a campaign ends or during a content audit.

When you delete an asset, Contentstack moves it to trash. You can restore the asset from trash within **14 days**.

**Note**: To delete assets, you need permission to delete assets in the stack. Without delete permission, the **Delete** action does not appear on the selection toolbar.

To delete multiple assets, sign in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login) and perform the steps below:
- Navigate to the **Assets** listing page within your space.
- Select the assets you want to delete using the checkbox next to each asset.
- The selection toolbar appears above the listing and shows the number of selected assets.
- On the selection toolbar, click **Delete**.
- The **Delete Assets** confirmation appears. Click **Delete** to confirm.

Contentstack moves the selected assets to trash and refreshes the assets listing.

To restore a deleted asset, open **Trash** within **Space Settings** and select the assets you want to restore.

**Warning**: Contentstack permanently removes assets from trash after 14 days. The asset cannot be restored after 14 days from the date of deletion.
