Can an old file be Deleted from the Files page?
I have upload multiple files using the same name so there is confusion as to which is the current version. I have gone back and renamed and reloaded the current files, but the Files page still contains the old, now unused files. Is there any way to remove these obsolete files?

The best practice is to include a version number in the filename of
your module. This avoids the problem you’re describing.
E.g., if your module is called ‘Battle of Foo’, then it would be
appropriate to name successive versions of the module
Battle_of_Foo-1.0.vmod and Battle_of_Foo-1.1.vmod.

Tim,
Joel,
Yes, of course – NOW. And, I did it that way in the end.
But what about all that obsolete junk taking up space? Is there any way to remove it?
Sorry Cgm, looks like my earlier email reply got consumed on the forums somehow, I’ll post directly here for you what I said before in answer to your question:
Not really (except by an admin), but users do not see the file pages unless they really try to find them, their access to files is through the module page that you should have linked the files to.
How do I do that?
what you did when you edited the SOS module page 
Thanks all, cgm
