Delete file from LCD screen?

I print a lot of test parts and one of things. I have no use for the gcode file after that. Is there any way to delete files from the LCD screen (an ideal place would be from the screen which already has the "reprint" and "home" buttons so I could just delete the file once I see it printed fine).

Speaking of that screen, why is the "reprint" button the default? That just encourages you to accidentally reprint while the last print is still cluttering up the bed :-). "Home" would be a much better default. that way I'd have to decide I really wanted to reprint.

I agree about home rather than reprint.  And while it would be fine to have a "delete gcode" button there as well, please don't make it the ONLY way to do it. I'd like to be able to clean up files from a cold start, not only delete the file I just printed.

RE: Delete file from LCD screen?

Since setting up my printer with PrusaLink, I personally wouldn't find this feature request useful (since I just manage everything from my computer now). The sliced files are so small in size compared to the capacity of the USB stick, so I guess you're wanting to delete files to clear up clutter...? Which I get. If anything I would like to have the option to delete multiple files at the same time from PrusaLink (which I don't know if you can do). When I want to wipe the entire USB stick I do it by inserting it into my computer.
