I have some files that I would like to remove from local storage but I'm unable to delete it and also if I download an album I'm unable to redownload the files that failed to download

Do you get any error messages in the logs?

for the failed download, yes. For downloaded files I get the location grayed out

Can you send a screenshot?

That's normal, you can't delete the internal storage location. Can you try and get a screenshot of your logs after you try to download/delete something? 404 errors to /Item//Image aren't related by the way, it's a common mistake people make

So how can I delete the files then? this is the only option I find?

To delete an item, use the delete button in the top right corner of the album/playlist. It'll be in the same place as the download button. Note that you cannot delete downloads in offline mode, which is why the button is greyed out in my screenshot.

OK thank you got it. I think would be easy found if was on downloads, and please add option to try to download the files again if failed

Other thing that I noticed, I have to be online to delete this files (offline mode disabled). For large downloaded files it will be hard to find

Sorry for the +1 comment. But I was scratching my head for ~30 minutes. Would be great if deleting downloaded files would also be possible in offline mode. Having to switch back to online mode, then search for artist > album is unnecessarily complicated.

I also just ran into this - I thought deleting was broken after the most recent updater. Very unintuitive to only be able to delete from online mode.

Adding another vote to be able to delete downloads in offline mode, please!

This will be implemented soon in #331

@jmshrv can this be closed?
