Can I permanently delete my uploads to a folder when I'm not the owner?
Not owner, and inadvertently uploaded pics (didn’t mean to allow all photos from camera); possible to Perm Delete items so that owner can’t ever restore? They are my personal pics I myself uploaded from my phone; I reaaaalllly don’t need my divorce atty seeing all my personal **bleep**. Ty in advance!
Hi there, FuentesMicDrop, thanks for posting your question.
Would you mind giving me a bit more info on the situation?
I understand that you mistakenly enabled the Camera Uploads feature for your personal device, which you can disable by following the steps here.
However, where were the photos uploaded to? Is it a Dropbox account other people have login access to or is the account just yours and you're just sharing folders with others?
If you delete the photos and then follow these steps to permanently delete them from the account, does the website allow you to do so or are you getting some kind of error?
Keep me posted.

Hannah- I actually figured it out- am running on fumes and need sleep, but I will explain in the near future for similar issues/questions- thank you so much for your help!
