To delete a media file:

Things to watch out for:

• Make sure the file that you are trying to upload is less than the maximum size allowed (1.5MB by default)
• If the web server you have installed OWLS on is running low on space, you may receive an error. Delete some of your media files.
• If you have a slow internet connection or if the file is very large, the upload can take a long time or may time out. Use smaller files or use FTP to directly upload media files into the media folder where the exercise page can find the files.
