You can probably get it done using a script. Although, it’d depend on the Android version of your tablet, and also the location of the file you want to delete.

@Aitana  On an Android 10 device, you can use the following script to delete all files in the Download directory 

del %sdcard%/Download/*

This will clear all files located under the Download folder.

  1. Go to the File Explorer sub-tab and click Open File Explorer. 

  1. You will see a list of folders and files on your device. Select the checkboxes next to the files you want to delete. 

  1. Click on Actions and choose the Delete option. 

  1. A confirmation popup will appear, click Delete to confirm.
