+## Take-down process
+
+In cases of a DMCA notice, or other abuse yet to be determined, a file has to be removed from the service.
+
+Files can be delisted and made inaccessible by removing their record from Redis.
+
+Send share links contain the id of the file, for example `https://send.firefox.com/download/3d9d2bb9a1`
+
+From a host with access to the Redis server run a `DEL` command with the file id.
+
+For example:
+
+```sh
+redis-cli DEL 3d9d2bb9a1
+```
+
+Other redis-cli parameters like `-h` may also be required. See [redis-cli docs](https://redis.io/topics/rediscli) for more info.
