You can already do it.

File > Open will give you a file manager (Finder or File Explorer, depending on your OS). Select the file(s) you want to delete, and either:

  • For Windows, press Delete; or
  • For macOS, right-click and choose Move to Trash.

Yes, OK - but that's in Windows, NOT Affinity, I would like to be able to delete an image which I am looking at when stepping through loaded files. Currently my workflow procedure is.

View the raw files in MS photos and delete the real "stinkers"

Run a batch process on the raw files to convert them to .afphoto (usually applying a macro or two)

Load all the .afphoto images into Affinity Photo

Step through and edit them - hence it would be great if there was a "delete" option to further refine my selection

That's what DAM solutions are for.
Affinity apps are no DAM.

Hi @Chris Potter,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
The workflow you are describing is typical of software for image organization (DAM - digital asset management) and processing like Lightroom or Capture One Pro usually used by photographers to manage and step through multiple images of a session/photoshoot and edit them one by one or apply common presets/adjustments to several at once. Affinity Photo doesn't possess any image organization features. It's just a RAW/photo editor comparable to Photoshop where although you can open a multiple RAW's at once you have to work on them individually.

Well, I have to say I was unaware of the acronym! BUT after 40 years in and around the IT industry if one of my developers told me he couldn't write a procedure to delete the file on display, a P45 would be winging its way to him!!

  1. File → Reveal in Finder
  2. delete file in Finder

Or correspondingly whatever the command is named in Windows.
