I would like to know where the files sent through the api [https://api.baserow.io/api/user-files/upload-file/](https://api.baserow.io/api/user-files/upload-file/) are stored. I also need to know if it is possible to delete these sent files. ---

Hi, The files are stored on our Cloud platform. The URL mostly starts with [https://baserow-media.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/user\_files/](https://baserow-media.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/user_files/) followed by a series of random characters to ensure the uniqueness of the file name. The complete URL will also be shown in the JSON response of your upload. It is not possible to remove the files through the API once they are uploaded. ---

Could I delete the file on self-hosted? ---

Yes, self-hosting offers you access to the /user\_files/ folder where you can delete files. ---

The user\_files are stored in a volume. To access it with docker desktop: 1. Select Volumes on the left side of the application 2. Search for the Volume that is used by baserow. This is `[name_of_your_container]_media` 3. Click on that volume and open the folder user\_files ![image](https://community.baserow.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/64acfcdd15c0803fdc8744a427441fc17fcd434f.png) ---
