The "delete" functionality never went away for me. But Nik also mentioned

Thanks, but I
already found an adequate workaround solution for myself.
It was included in the post under the heading "Re: Konqueror & FAT32 -
SOLVED?"
Here is the web page that provided my solution:

And doing that brings back the "Delete" functionality in TDE?

My next-door neighbor blew the fuse here, on a shared electrical circuit.
(Much of San Francisco is like living in a third-world country, but without
the friendliness.) This fried a flash drive, and now I only have one left.
Once I have a new, bigger flash drive, I will
format that, then load
music onto it. And then I will format the old one, too. Otherwise, I
gotta wait for a week or so to get all the music loaded up again.
You don't have an old USB stick or SD card you can experiment on? I
still have the very first USB stick I ever purchased, with 128MB on it.
Very handy as a scratch disk.
I know, it's this damned lockdown. Everything now is a terrible bother; to go
out to local shops for computer gear requires that I call ahead, then go in
to pick up my items. I would prefer to go to an actual *place*, somewhere
outside in the real world, not just to order online. For one thing, I like to
browse a little, to think about what else I might need, for now or later.
Also I like to ask questions, so I am better able to decide.
Anyway, all in good time. There is nothing else to do but wait.
