# Files

The file manager is a way to organize file management. It's used when working with various problem settings and for uploading and selecting files.

To go to the file manager, select **Files** in the left section on the problem page.

![](../_images/guide/problem/file-manager.png)

On the **Files** page, you can:

- Upload new files and archives to a problem.
- View the list of files added to a problem.
- Delete files and directories (except standard directories).
- Edit text files.

## Upload a file or archive {#load}

1. In the file manager, select the directory (folder) where you want to upload the file. Under the **Select file** button, a text will appear to explain where the file will be uploaded to. For example, <q>File will be uploaded to the /tests folder</q>.
2. Click **Select file**.

To select the root directory, click an empty space to the right of the directories. This will change the explanatory text to: <q>File will be uploaded to the / folder</q>.

If you upload an archive with directories and files, it will be unpacked to the directory you select. For example, if you upload an archive with files `01 and 01.a` to the `tests` directory, you will get `tests/01` and `tests/01.a` in the problem.

If you want to upload an archive to the problem files, archive it twice. For example, you want to have the file `main.zip` in the problem files. On your computer, archive `main.zip` into a RAR file and upload it to the root directory.

## Delete file or directory {#delete}

To delete a file or directory, select it from the list and click ![](../_images/delete-icon.png) next to the name.

{% note alert %}

You can't delete directories created by the system by default.

{% endnote %}

## Edit a file

1. Select a file from the list. If it can be edited, a ![](../_images/edit-icon.png) icon will appear next to the file name.
2. Click ![](../_images/edit-icon.png).
3. Edit the file in the editor.
4. Click **Save changes**.
