Where are my 'delete' buttons next to the attachments?
Asked by Anak Fermont:

In the attachments overview I used to have delete buttons for deleting attachments. Now they are gone and I can't delete attachments.

My permissions haven't changed, I'm still site-admin. How can I delete attachments from my spaces?

delete attachment permission is per space and you could have not this permission even if you are a Confluence site admin. Please check your permissions for a single space.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your answer, but this is not the solution. I am also the space admin.

author: Anak Fermont
body: I used to delete the attachments from the attachments page (see screenshot), but now I don't have the buttons anymore.![screen_attacments.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/196616i9943CD5334B18F0A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "screen_attacments.PNG")


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Based on the following doc <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/manage-uploaded-files/> it seems that you can't do that. Are u sure that you can do that previously?


author: Anak Fermont
body: Maybe I'm misreading... but where does the the documentation say I can't do that?

This screenshot tells me I should be able to delete attachments, right?

body: That screenshot is related to an attachments macro on a specific page. From a page you should be able to do that.

Your previous screenshot was related to space attachments. This is the related content :  

View all attached files in a space {#toc-hId--555625396}
--------------------------------------------------------

To view all the files in a space:

1. Go to the space in Confluence Cloud.

2. Select **Space Settings** from the sidebar.

3. Select **Attachments** from the **Manage pages** card.

Alternately, you can [insert the space attachments macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-space-attachments-macro/) on a page to display a list of all the attachments in a space. If you use this method, you can use the filters to display only files with a particular label or file extension.

author: Anak Fermont
body: Ah, I guess I deleted attachments from a specific page then. Shame you can't delete them from the space settings attachments page.

Thanks anyway!
