If you find a file which appears to be a copyright violation, it will normally have to be deleted under [[Commons:Deletion policy]]. When you are on a File page, there are several links in the Toolbox at the bottom left to help you "tag" a file for deletion. If you're unsure what to do about a particular case, you can ask at the [[Commons:Help desk]]. For complex copyright issues, you can also raise questions at [[Commons:Village pump/Copyright]].
