MagoestQ: Quick question about the Expired button in SendTurtle.
When I mark a link as Expired, it correctly disables public access — but the file still remains in my dashboard, and I don’t see any option to delete it.
Could you clarify:
What exactly does the Expired button do at the file level?
After a link is marked as expired, is the uploaded file still stored permanently?
Is there (or will there be) a way to fully delete uploaded files, links, or analytics from the dashboard?
Thanks!

Dec 2, 2025A: Thanks for asking and here’s what “Expired” does today:
1. What the Expired button does: it permanently disables access and, on the backend, the actual file is deleted so it can’t be opened again.
2. Is the file still stored after expiring? No, once it’s expired, the file itself is no longer retained, which also means we can't reactivate it at a later time.
3. Can I fully delete the dashboard entry / analytics? Not yet. The file is gone, but the dashboard record (and associated logs/analytics) can remain for reporting/history. We agree this should be fully removable, and we’ll be adding a “delete from dashboard” option (including associated logs/analytics) in an upcoming update. Thanks again!
