# Deleting a file or a directory

To delete, update, hide or show a file or directory, use the options in the right hand column of the documents listing:

![](/files/-LH9D2kWqcxZ0r4qZeEE)

As you will realize yourself, the icons vary depending on the document type. HTML documents offer more possibilities.

The magic wand icon allows you to use the selected document as a template to create other documents. It thus becomes very easy to ensure a consistent visual style for all documents in the same course.

The PDF icon allows you to export the document in a PDF format. This can be particularly useful if you wish to read your course in the train or the plane, where you don't have access to your e-learning platform.
