 * Hi
    There is no option to delete a file. Your FAQ below seems to be incorrect.
   How do you delete files? Click the edit button in the control panel. Select the
   file or files you wish to delete. Click the Remove button.

 * Found it!
 * If you have the overview of all files you have the you have in the upper left
   corner so option to add a new file or a new folder and then an icon with checkboxes.
   If you click this icon you can select the files you want to delete.
 * I don’t know why this is so complecated and different to the FAQ.
