Description
If you upload a file in a database entry and then wish to delete that file there is no way to do so in the UI.
If you delete the file from the backend (i.e. going into the course files area or via ftp etc.) the link remains and an error is thrown (just stating the obvious i.e. can't find file).
You can get rid of the link (as long as you only enter a space in the the link optional file name field), and therefore, the error message, but can not get rid of the file icon.

Hi Petr
Thanks for the reply. Came to the same conclusion 
In the majority of cases this may not be such a problem, and may teach people to get it right in the first place. That said, when you have multiple file uploads in one database entry and the files concerned are large this workaround can cost hours not minutes.
Perhaps this is a feature request rather than a bug? I.e. add a way to delete an uploaded file in the database activity UI.

Workaround is to delete the entry itself and add it again without the file.
