Delete problem🙂

[Dbz-Mahin7x]

Github should add Delete option in the mobile version. Isn't it hard to know when you can edit and create files but not delete them? I guess maybe Am the only one who wants delete feature?

You are definitely not the only one who feels this way about the mobile app
It is a very common point of confusion for developers who want to manage their repositories entirely from their phones
The inconsistency of being able to edit and create files but not delete them is something that many users have pointed out to the mobile team
The reason this feature is likely missing is because GitHub prioritizes "Safe" actions on mobile to prevent accidental data loss from a wrong tap or a pocket click
Destructive actions like deleting files are often kept behind the desktop interface or the web browser as a security measure
However you can still delete files on your phone right now by using a simple workaround
Open your mobile browser like Chrome or Safari and log in to GitHub there instead of using the app
Navigate to the specific file you want to remove and click on the three dots icon in the top right corner of the file view
You will find the Delete file option there and it works perfectly on mobile browsers
If the mobile web version still hides the button you can select Request Desktop Site in your browser settings to see the full interface
By posting this feedback here you are helping the GitHub Mobile team understand that this is a high priority feature for the community
Hopefully we will see a native Delete button added to the app soon to make the experience more consistent across all platforms

If this workaround helps you manage your repository today please consider marking this as the accepted answer so the mobile team can see the high demand for this feature
