Trying to remove some of my files in the Documents folder. It used to be so easy, I highlighted the file, right clicked and then selected 'Delete'. Now I right click and nothing happens! Tried looking for 'Delete' or a 'dustbin' but can't find anything. I recently switched to Windows 11, is that the reason? If so it doesn't seem lie progress to me.

2022-11-07T19:37:06.567+00:00 Thanks for your help. I've tried again and the 'right click' now seems to work and I'm now able to follow your instructions and delete. I did receive an email and thought I had replied but apparently not successfully. At 76 technology has passed me by other than the basics. Thanks again.
