# Remove a file from the DRE: Permanent deletion

In rare cases, you may need to purge a file completely from the Blob Store. For example, if you discover that a file contains data that must be deleted for compliance reasons.

Contact your Domino administrator to [delete all the file instances](/cloud/admin/data-administration/project-file-storage/delete-file-instances) to permanently remove such a file.

<Warning>
  A full delete will irrevocably remove all files that match the exact *contents* of the file you are deleting. For example, if multiple projects all contain a `data.txt` file with the exact same contents, full-deleting it in one Project will full-delete it everywhere.
</Warning>
