I have built a couple of applications in 7.2 with file upload functions. I have the "delete file when associated record is deleted (field option)" checked. I thought the "field option" indicated that the file would be deleted when the file is deleted in the field. But I see that the files remain on the server after removing the file during edit. How can I get the actual files deleted when I delete then during edit?

When you click 'Delete' next to upload file and then save the record - file will be deleted from the server.
The option you talking about describes different situation - what would happen with files when the whole record is deleted (as opposed to deleting individual file).
