# Overview

The **Media Files** page stores prompts and audio files used by IVRs, queues, DISAs, announcements, music-on-hold lists, and other call flows. Open it from **Configuration > Media Files**.

The page works against the tenant currently selected in the top bar. The screenshots and demo rows were captured in the **Canistracci OIL** tenant.

## Demo records

The Canistracci OIL tenant contains these documentation examples: **Docs Demo IVR Upload Prompt**, **Docs Demo IVR Menu TTS**, **IVR selection**, and **Some music**.

## Deleting records

Before deleting a media file, check every call flow that can reference prompts: IVRs, queues, DISAs, hunt lists, custom destinations, music-on-hold lists, and standard messages. MiRTA PBX asks for confirmation before the delete is submitted.
