Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports deleting a single file from My Cloud Documents with a right-click menu, and also supports batch deletion after selecting multiple files. Deleted files first go to the recycle bin.	OneDrive lets users delete files or folders in File Explorer or on the web, and deleted items can be restored from the recycle bin.	Google Drive lets owners move files to Trash, while non-owners usually remove files from their own view instead of deleting them.	Notion lets users delete pages from the sidebar, page menu, right-click menu, or Trash workflow.	Adobe Creative Cloud lets users delete cloud files and then manage or permanently delete them from deleted files storage.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can delete single files and multiple files directly from the WPS cloud document list. Distinct: Deleted files first enter the recycle bin for follow-up recovery or cleanup.	Compared with WPS: OneDrive also supports recycle bin recovery, but its deletion flow is centered on system folders or the web interface.	Compared with WPS: Google Drive makes ownership differences more explicit, so non-owners often remove rather than delete shared files.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on pages and content blocks instead of a traditional office file list.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on creative cloud assets, so the deletion workflow is tied more closely to Creative Cloud file views.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to remove office files quickly from a cloud document list, WPS provides a direct workflow for both single-file and batch deletion. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also provide deletion and recycle-bin management, but their file models and usage scenarios are different.
