# Delete a Workspace and notebook files in EMR Studio
<a name="emr-studio-delete-workspace"></a>

When you delete a notebook file from an EMR Studio Workspace, you delete the file from the **File browser**, and EMR Studio removes its backup copy in Amazon S3. You do not have to take any further steps to avoid storage charges when you delete a file from a Workspace.

When you delete *an entire Workspace*, its notebook files and folders will remain in the Amazon S3 storage location. The files continue to accrue storage charges. To avoid storage charges, remove all backed-up files and folders that are associated with your deleted Workspace from Amazon S3.

**To delete a notebook file from an EMR Studio Workspace**

1. Select the **File browser** panel from the left sidebar in the Workspace.

1. Select the file or folder you want to delete. Right-click your selection and choose **Delete**. The file disappears from the list. EMR Studio removes the file or folder from Amazon S3 for you.
