So what you're talking about should already be there. Moreover, the delete function for the files and the images uses the exact same function called deleteFiles in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/file.php So since it already works for the images, I don't see why it wouldn't work for the files. Note that I'm talking about the files that you can upload in the "Images & file" area of the products. This doesn't apply for images and files uploaded through custom fields.

All clear now though.

The fact that it also works for the files is a by product of the modification because both files and images uses the same code.
