Bug Description
Only option (I found) to delete audio files form device is to mount it on PC (or use terminal).
It should be available, when swiping to the left on the song name. Now it shows adding to playlist. It should have additional bin icon.
This feature is needed when listening to non-music files, like podcasts and audio books, which are seldom listened to more than once.
Even if the Ubuntu device is connected to PC, user might have issues figuring out, which files are deletable, because in file system they are usually displayed by their file name, but in music app, by "Title" tag.

Hi Rūdolfs Mazurs, thanks for taking the time to file this bug and make Ubuntu better! At the moment deleting files from the app itself does not fit within the project's plans, however as we move towards convergence on the desktop, it's possible that this might be a required feature.
In the meantime, you can use the Filemanager app to remove any imported podcasts or other music files on the device.
