Do you want to remove a file from a record but not delete it from your Salesforce org?
Yes, you can! Previously, a file owner could delete a file from Files Home or a record using row-level actions. But this method also removed the file from all records and posts where it was attached.
Now you can easily remove the file from a record without also removing it from other records, posts, or Files home.
In order to remove a file from a record, you must have at least collaborator access to the file.
Steps:
On the record’s Files related list, choose to Remove from Record from the row-level action menu. Enabled by default in all Orgs.
