Delete link for documents in Sharepoint Document Library

Question

In the Sharepoint Document Library web part, is there a way to have a delete link for each of the files listed?

In the regular view of a document library you have a dropdown available when you hover over a filename, but there doesn't appear to be any option to delete a file in the web part.

Answer 1

Make sure you have proper permissions to delete the document. Usuallay if you have permission then you will see "Delete" option in the drop down menu.

Goto Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings -? Advanced Permissions

Click the appropriate group and make sure the user has permission to delete documents.
