ਫਾਈਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਵੀਨਤਮ ਕਰਨਾ


Explanation:
This is a tricky term which we understand well but no definite Punjabi word is being used in this context even in the best of dictionaries. What I use regularly in this context whenever I encounter this word in a file, is 'ਫਾਈਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਵੀਨਤਮ ਕਰਨਾ' (fayilaan noon naveentam karna) because When we'update a file', we delete some text or add some text and in the process we make the information in the file 'current' or 'new' , or in a sense we are making the file 'new'.

Example sentence(s):
  • The boss ordered the clerk to update all the files by Monday.
  • ਬਾਸ ਨੇ ਕਲਰਕ ਨੂੰ ਸੋਮਵਾਰ ਤੱਕ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਫਾਈਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਵੀਨਤਮ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਕਿਹਾ।
