Capability Summary	Supports deleting a single file from the My Cloud Documents right-click menu and deleting multiple selected files in one action. Deleted files go to the Recycle Bin and can be recovered later.	OneDrive lets users delete files or folders. On Mac, synced files can be moved to Trash in Finder, and web views also support deleting multiple items. Deleted items can be restored from the recycle bin.	Google Drive lets users move files to trash. File owners can delete files, trashed files still use storage, and users can later delete them permanently.	Notion lets users delete pages from the sidebar, page menu, or right-click menu. Deleted content goes to Trash, where it can be restored or deleted permanently.	Adobe Creative Cloud lets users delete cloud files and then manage permanent deletion or recovery in later steps.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps single-file deletion, batch deletion, and Recycle Bin recovery close to the cloud document workflow inside the app. Distinct: It is well suited to routine document, spreadsheet, and presentation cleanup.	Compared with WPS: OneDrive deletion also covers synced folders and web views, but the workflow often depends on Finder or the web file view.	Compared with WPS: Google Drive has clearer owner and non-owner deletion rules, while WPS keeps the delete path more direct inside the app's cloud document list.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on pages and workspace content rather than a traditional office file list, while WPS is closer to everyday office document cleanup.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on creative cloud file management, while WPS is more aligned with routine office document organization.
