When the file to be deleted is selected, right click brings up a "mini" screen with options. The last option, not shown in screenshot id Delete.

The mini screen is what's usually referred to as a "context menu". It provides a menu of many possible things you could do with the item that is right-clicked, among them being "delete".

The quicker method is to hit the delete key on your keyboard.

    That screenshot doesn't provide any information to help understand the issue. I was hoping to see what you described as "window appears with options have to select other options to delete".
