How do I delete documents from Google Docs app?

Answered by Michael Wilson

To delete documents from the Google Docs app, follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Docs app on your Android device.
2. If you’re not already signed in, enter your Google account credentials to access your documents.
3. Once you’re signed in, you will see a list of your documents. Tap on the document you want to delete to open it.
4. Once the document is open, tap the three-dot menu icon located at the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a dropdown menu with various options.
5. Scroll down the menu and locate the “Delete” option. Tap on it.
6. A confirmation dialog box will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion of the document. Read the warning carefully, as deleting the document will permanently remove it from your Google Drive and cannot be undone.
7. If you’re sure you want to delete the document, tap the “Delete” button in the dialog box.
8. The document will now be deleted from your Google Drive and will no longer appear in your documents list.

It’s important to note that deleting a document from the Google Docs app will also remove it from your Google Drive account across all devices. If you have shared the document with others, they will no longer be able to access it.

Remember to exercise caution when deleting documents, as there is no way to recover them once they have been permanently deleted. If there are any important documents you want to keep, make sure to back them up or export them before deleting them from Google Docs.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
