Manage Assets

Datature Vi lets you remove assets from a dataset one at a time or in bulk. Both operations are permanent: deleted assets and all their associated annotations are removed immediately and cannot be recovered. Download a backup before any large-scale deletion.

By the end of this guide

Delete assets individually via the action menu, or select multiple assets with checkboxes for bulk removal.

Delete An Asset

Hover over any asset thumbnail, open the action menu, and delete the asset individually.

Bulk Actions

Select multiple assets using checkboxes, then delete all selected assets in one confirmation step.

Choosing your approach

Use individual deletion when you are reviewing assets one by one and removing specific problematic files. Use bulk actions when you are cleaning out a category, removing duplicates, or clearing test uploads.
