Qlik SaaS - Include Delete and Move options for data files in the actions button menu

Select the space where the data resides
Click the gear icon
Select Data Sources
Under Actions select either Move or Delete

No Move or Delete options creates confusion on how to do so:

I think this is a great suggestion. An export option would also be exceptionally useful, as at present the only way to do this is generate an app from the data file and add all fields, this would be easier as a one button operation.

Agree, the delete and move need to be easier to use.

also agree - without EXPORT/DOWNLOAD option, Data Files is only a good option for items created from a qlik app. Please upvote both of these ideas
