First Claim
1. A communication apparatus being capable of performing facsimile communication, comprising:
- at least one memory that stores a set of instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the instructions to;
receive facsimile data;
store the received facsimile data in a storage;
generate a preview image, based on the facsimile data stored in the storage;
transmit, according to a request for a preview image from an external device, the generated preview image to the external device;
determine whether or not the external device is displaying the preview image of the facsimile data; and
delete, in a case where an instruction to delete the facsimile data stored in the storage is received from another external device and it is determined that the external device is not displaying the preview image of the facsimile data, the facsimile data in the storage according to the instruction,wherein, in a case where the instruction to delete is received from the another external device and it is determined that the external device is displaying the preview image of the facsimile data, the facsimile data, in the storage is not deleted according to the instruction.

Abstract
A communication apparatus capable of performing facsimile communication includes at least one memory that stores a set of instructions and at least one processor. The processor executes the instructions to receive facsimile data, store the received facsimile data in a storage, generate a preview image based on the stored facsimile data, and transmit, according to a request for a preview image from an external device, the generated preview image to the external device. In addition, the stored facsimile data is deleted according to an instruction, but deletion of the facsimile data in the storage is prohibited while the external device is displaying the preview image of the facsimile data if the instruction is received from another external device.
