You can now delete files on Microsoft 365. This is different from hiding, as it will remove the file from your storage and it will only be accessible through your OneDrive Recycle Bin.
Note: You can't delete files that you don't own, files that are currently being edited, or files that have already been deleted.
Delete a file from Microsoft 365 on the web

On the home page under Quick access (or from My Content), find the file you'd like to delete.

If you deleted the file by accident, look for a toast at the bottom of the page and select View in OneDrive Recycle bin.

From the OneDrive navigation, select Recycle bin.
