So what happens when you go to the âDownloadsâ library from your sidebar (inside the mobile Andoid app)
then slide the downloaded item to the left?

That does work but what if i just want to delete one episode to make space and not everything thatâs been downloaded?

As per the response above: you can only delete âdownload itemsâ (select the `Downloads` section in your sidebar, then make sure to use the `Items` tab, not `Library` ). You cannot delete single videos/tracks or any aggregation of those (collections, seasons, shows, albums, artists) from the `Library` tab in the `Downloads` section.
If you want to be able to delete items individually, youâll need to download them individually (resulting e.g. in single episode download items).
Edit: just deleted some episodes I had downloaded as single episodes in the iOS client and it seems to be working fine for me.

See âDownloads Libraryâ in the related support article (2nd picture). The article also details how to delete download items (see âCancel or Delete a downloadâ).

ok one problem is that there are two different âDownloadsâ. This is confusing. The other is that I think delete options should be accessible anywhere my content is available
in one Downloads, the one you see here, there are two tabs, `Recommended` and `Library`
which I click more, there is another Downloads, and on that one I see `Items` and `Library`
As I said, this is very confusing. I think this can and should be simplified.
It seems the shortcut (pinned) doesnât show `Items`, but if I access it via more, it does. That is a bug

Do those two nodes persist if you upgrade to the current public release of Plex for Android (version 9.29)? Version 9.24 seems to date back to early June⌠(edit: I just noticed that your first post dates back to June⌠so youâre probably on a newer version of the app by now)
