How to delete downloaded content?

[solidsnakex37 55]

I don't see a delete option when checking a media item under downloads on my tablet.

How do I remove content that I've downloaded?...I can't delete anything from TV or Movies.

Does that particular user have permission to delete items ticked/enabled in user settings?

I looked, but there is no permission for the "downloads" media. Do I need to allow permission to delete content from the actual library, to be able to delete content that's downloaded locally on the device?

Yes.

That's an interesting design choice, I don't want users deleting media from my library.

However, I added permission to this user to delete TV and Movies, though I still can't delete anything and there is no option to remove it.

Have you clicked Save at the bottom after enabling it?

Hi, have you tried going to manage downloads in the app settings?

Tbh, I haven't ever looked there - though with large number of downloads it is a bit of a chore compared to just deleting the item directly from folder or Home Screen. Thanks, though.

This works as a workaround
