**<a name="Q27_ipv6">Q27:</a> Is IPv6 supported?**
A: Not yet, see ticket #867.
**<a name="Q28_delete_files">Q28:</a> How to delete files/folder from Tahoe-LAFS grid?**
A: Tahoe-LAFS is designed to allow multiple users to access the same files. You wouldn't like it if one day a file of yours had been deleted by somebody else, right? Therefore, we have to solve The Garbage Collection Problem. The current solution is: do lease-renewal every month or so, and delete any files that nobody has lease-renewed in more than a month or so.
For more details read [Garbage Collection in Tahoe](https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/garbage-collection.rst).
