BeePhotos allows you to delete and manage files across devices.

Navigate to the More tab > Settings > Deletion Settings. You can choose the following options according to your needs.

• Delete from BeePhotos and phone: When you delete items from the BeePhotos mobile app, both the files stored on your phone and their corresponding copies on BeePhotos will be deleted. Your iOS or Android device will also request your permission to delete the local files. The deleted files from BeePhotos will be placed in the BeeFiles Recycle Bin.
• Delete from BeePhotos only: Only files stored on BeePhotos will be deleted, and these deleted files will be placed in the BeeFiles Recycle Bin.

Manage out-of-sync changes

The mobile app will notify you of any out-of-sync changes between BeePhotos and your phone when you delete files stored on both platforms through the BeePhotos web portal. However, if the deleted files only exist on BeePhotos, the app will not notify you of these changes.
