3D Files can consume a lot of space. Depending on the use case, the size of a 3D FIle can vary between a couple of Bytes for a cube up to hundreds of MegaByte for complex and organic shapes.

For each uploaded file, 3YOURMIND stores multiple other files. Below is a list of each files purpose and the impact of removing it from the file system.
You can delete the files by runningfind . -name "[filename]" -type f -delete -print
