Checked the OP and pleased to see you added delete function.
Sadly I can't like the post a second time.
Also on the github release page it says press + to delete while this causes the app to exit (I think this needs to be edited to -).
Oh pfft, that's what I get for releasing at 4 in the morning. Fixed, thanks!

@klock I'd reccomend adding a warning on entering nand partitions to prevent a FBI-Drama-DejaVu
I'll make sure to plaster warnings all over the place!

That's good! For everyone who doesn't know what I'm talkin about, in the 3DS Scene someone deleted important NAND files using the FBI CIA Installer - and bricked his/her device - which had provided access to these without mentioning that unexperienced users could soft brick the NAND while tampering with it.

Oh and what you definately can copy from FBI, is the fact that after it was fully working as console application, it got a really nice gui implemented.

Is the tool itself dangerous or just deleting the files on the nand?
The tool itself should be sound - the source is available, albert incredibly messy at the moment. Still, it's early and I want to advise people to be careful anyways (also, with the current version not having fixed text wrapping around to the top of the screen, selection can be misleading in folders with lots of entries, so I'd advise against doing anything in folders with more entries than screen space until I can push the next version out).

Deleting files from the NAND without a backup is more what I was referring to as being dangerous, yes. I haven't experienced any issues with the program itself, besides the aforementioned bug. I tested a lot of file copying to and from SD as well as deleting, so all of that should work just fine (if you're copying larger files, though, be prepared to wait a minute or two for it to complete).

I used both v0.03 and v0.04 and they do not work for me. The partition space and partition free both shows 0.00 MB on the left side.

When I load the app, I can see the app screen but no command works, I can't move using the directional, none of the buttons work. All I can do is to use the Home button to exit the app.

Is there any alternative app for this? I have system memory used and I can't delete even with factory reset. This app was the hope to be able to delete the files.
