thank you for writing this.

Is there any chance this could be made less cumbersome and allow the files to be deleted directly from the Catalog while looking at the list of items?

Hello @Ken_T 

I found a few ideas that may be what you are looking for! I would recommend voting on them and leaving your comment/suggestions.

I would like to delete files from the data spaces at the Data Analytics page  
Qlik SaaS - Include Delete and Move options for data files in the actions button menu 
Checkbox for editing/deleting many data-sources at once Qlik cloud SAAS 

all the best,
