You’re welcome — what happened, then, is that before you were on a Windows system and now you are on a Mac. 

 

To delete the file on a Mac: 

  • Drag the title bar so its in its own window 
  • Cmd + click the title bar 
  • Click the folder to go to the Finder 
  • Cmd + Delete to delete the file 
  • Close the file in PS; it is already deleted

What OS are you using I believe Photoshop uses your system file Open Dialog.  On windows 10 I do not see a Problem using Photoshop File>Open  Windows lets me delete files I have the right access right to.

So, we identify that you can't delete files from the Open box in Mac. What are you trying to do and what happens?

Hi NikitaZ,

In Windows, you can’t delete a file from the Open dialog box (or ever) when the file is open — only when it is closed.

On a Mac, you can’t do file management in the Open dialog box, but you can delete, move, and rename a file in the Finder when the file is open.

That’s why we need to know your operating system to give the best answer, thanks!

~ Jane
