I would like to delete files which I downloaded with Opera Mini. When I try to delete files from /sdcard/download it says something like "permission denied". I tried with File Browser and Cargo Dock from Jolla Store but neither did work.

Is there some other way to delete files?

Thank you

Use the terminal (developer mode enabled). Once you're in the terminal, change to root (devel-su) and then go to /sdcard/download and delete the files (using rm) or folders (using rm -rf).

Be careful with the files you delete!

You can install an Android file manager and remove the files with that. There are countless file managers to choose from so have your pick, I imagine any one will do.
