# Can Tuhi move or delete my files by itself?

No. Tuhi doesn't move, clean or delete your files by herself. Anything that does goes through that feature's own preview and confirmation, and she only starts things you explicitly ask for.

What she does on your word:

- **download a link** you paste, to the place you name
- **stop, pause or carry on** a download, transfer, folder move, backup or Free Up Space you ask about — these keep everything done so far
- **cancel** one — but anything that would throw work away is always asked first, with what would be lost
- open a ticket form you review before sending, when you say "contact support"

If more than one thing matches what you asked, she asks which instead of picking. The tidy-up routine only runs when you tap **Run Tuhi** yourself. See [stopping things with Tuhi](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/can-tuhi-stop-pause-or-cancel-something).
