Delete a file from Microsoft Office on iPad

Hi Everyone,

I have a Microsoft office; word, power point and excel on my iPad and I always save files on my OneDrive. When I open the files on One Drive, the office downloaded it onto my iPad and when I delete the files on iPad, files from One Drive also get deleted. 

I only like to delete the file downloaded on iPad, not the file on One Drive. Can someone help me?

Thank you!

Hi Khant,

 

 

When the Office files are downloaded from OneDrive, OneDrive ask for the location to store the files. If you want to delete the downloaded Office files, we suggest you delete the Office file from the location you had selected.

 

If you connect your OneDrive to your iPad, it looks like the image below and the Office files you had saved to OneDrive appears when you click on it.

If you delete the Office files from the OneDrive as shown above, the Office files that are saved to OneDrive are also deleted, So search for the Office files in “On My iPad” and delete them.

 

You can also restore the deleted files from the OneDrive through Recycle Bin

 

Regards,
