Hey ​@OldGreg- great question! I've reached out to the team internally to get the most accurate info on this for you, and I’ll update you as soon as I hear back. Appreciate you flagging this! 

Any update on this? After some pretty great prototyping sessions, I’ve ended up with a fair amount of files no longer needed due to various refactorings. Would be very nice to be able to cleanup the tree. Makes sense that Claude can’t do it but I tried selecting + delete or right-click hoping for a contextual menu but no actions. 

Same problem here, I had to ask him to create a trash folder and have it empty all unused file, rename them in “to-delete-#.txt” lol
It was smarter than me tho and thought about adding some details about the reason why we deleted it, the date, etc… 
BUT ended up NOT deleting and NOT renaming the files, just creating a list of files to delete..

Any update to this? I want to get rid of unused and duplicate files but I couldn’t find any way to delete them..

Same problem here. Also, how can I roll back to a previous version?

Hi everyone, I’m really sorry for the delay in getting back! I checked internally with the team and then completely missed following up, my apologies for that.

The team has confirmed that, unfortunately, it’s not currently possible to delete extra or empty files from the code tree in Make. I understand how important this would be for keeping your workspace clean and avoiding confusion in future prompts, and I’ve passed your feedback along so it’s on their radar for future improvements.

moved some things around and optimized some others and now there’s a mess.  Make duplicated files instead of moving them, then added even more to delete with the -DELETE suffix.  Very hard to tell what is doing what anymore.  

Also, chat said… 

I'll provide the exact rm commands needed to delete all the duplicate .md files from your root directory. All content is safely preserved in the `/docs/` folder.

File Deletion Commands Provided

I've given you the exact rm commands to clean up all duplicate .md files from your root directory. Copy and paste any of the three command options above to complete the cleanup. All documentation content is safely preserved in the `/docs/` folder, so this will give you a clean project structure without losing any information.”

No commands were given.

I just wanted to add to this, currently facing an issue in two larger projects where Figma Make cannot delete unused folders and files after a lot of changes.

This is resulting in build issues in the apps we’re using for a late stage prototype.

Given there is the ability to restore to older versions, I think Make should be given the ability to move and delete files / folders as required for a project to continue.

At a minimum allowing the user to delete the files and folders from the project in the UI (however letting Make do this would be much better).

Edit: I’ll just add, I’ve not seen this restriction in competing products and it’s a real limitation.
