I have accidentally downloaded files to my controller and now I want to delete them so I can actually add what I would like. So how do you go about deleting the downloaded files if there is a way?

The files from Home than click download there is no trashcan option or delete that I’ve found.

You don’t do it from the ‘upload’ button. you do it via the trash can icon.

The files that Tyler is talking about are on the Desktop of the Pi. If you hit Desktop on the left side of the screen it brings you to the Download folder. I think they are accidentally downloaded my clicking the File download button I have (4) files in my download folder that are not in the drop …

Or just ignore the files in the incorrect downloads folder.

You could SSH to the controller and delete them from the terminal, I don’t know if that is any less confusing or dangerous and may result in you re flashing the controller if you do it wrong :wink:

If you press and hold on the touch screen it will pop out the same menu as you would get with a right click.
