This way, the system will take care of performing that task on the indicated date and time. While a file is discarded, it cannot be signed and none of its potential signers will find it in the `Pending signature`. Files can be withdrawn at any time in the cycle while any of the signatures remain to be made. However, once the file reaches all the required signatures, it can no longer be discarded. In the file list, a discarded file is identified with the icon ![Icono fichero descartado](https://64653979-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvdpBggYaSLH9X3nOAiMG%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0a8b89c0f0eecc69b95ae0aae7ff952f48416294%2F08_icono_descartado.png?alt=media). 📌 **To keep in mind** > If a file is deleted, it is permanently erased from the system and cannot be recovered. > A file can be deleted when it has not yet received signatures or when the only signature it has received is that of the person who is going to delete it, that is, it is not possible to delete a file that has already received signatures from other users. The discard operation is audited in the **Signing activity log** can be viewed. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.editran.onesait.com/documentacion-editran/connect-v2.1-en/firma/firmadeficheros/detallefichero/descartar.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
