===How do I delete files?===
You can't. The nodes are not trusted and therefore cannot be relied upon to remove the file's shares when asked. To render a file inaccessible, destroy all copies of the filecap. After 31 60 days, the file's lease will expire and its shares will be automatically garbage collected, or deleted, by the nodes.
===Wait, files expire? But I thought...===
DonVTLUUG't panic. To stop s grid uses a 2 month file from being deleted after 1 month, simply renew its lease. The recommended way of doing this is setting up an alias using tahoe create-alias tahoe, adding the filecap to prevent the alias, and setting grid from filling up a weekly cronjob to run tahoe deep-check --renew tahoe. This will renew the leases on all the files in the alias, which is similar to a directorypermanently.
(Note: expiration was true Don't panic. To stop a file from being deleted after 2 months, simply renew its lease. The recommended way of doing this is setting up an alias using tahoe create-alias tahoe, adding the old Tahoe gridfilecap to the alias, and setting up a weekly cronjob to run tahoe deep-check --renew tahoe. The new one (established This will renew the leases on all the files in Dec 2014) has storage nodes that should be configured the alias, which is similar to ''never'' expire filesa directory.)
