This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I want users, especially those with a custom role created using Toolset Access, to be able to delete images directly from the media library popup when accessing it from a CRED form. This would allow users to manage their images effectively, particularly for scenarios like replacing images with larger versions and cleaning up unnecessary files.
Solution:
In WordPress, the ability to delete images from the media library is tied to user roles and capabilities. Users with the "delete_others_posts" capability typically have this privilege. You can test and adjust capabilities in Toolset Access settings to determine which ones grant users the ability to delete images.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'd like users to be able to delete images when using the media library popup from a CRED form.
So when they access the popup media library from the form - they can select an image and them delete it.
Allowing users (with a custom role using Toolset Access) - to mange their images/media files.
Use case:
I upload an image to use in a directory.
I then deicde I want to use a larger image - so I upload the larger image.
Now I want to clean up my files and delete the original image so I don't get mixed up and use it later.
Is there a way to make this happen using Toolset + Access?
Thank you
Hi there
If you edit a post in the back-end with the classic editor and you insert an image into the post via the media library, you will see a link to delete the image (screenshot).
If your Toolset Forms are set "Use the WordPress Media Library manager for image, video, audio, or file fields" then when inserting images in a form the same dialog appears, and the same delete link is included.
That's as an administrator.
What role is it that you intend this to work for? Does a user with that role see the delete link if they edit a post in the back end and insert an image into the post content?
