The remove file button allows the user to remove the selected file from the list of files to be imported. This does not erase the file from the original location and the user may browse to select the file again if required.

Keep Files after Importing

5. Keep Files after Importing
If Keep Files after Importing is ticked the selected files will be retained on the device after importing. If this is unticked, the selected files will be erased from the device (including the user's local files) after importing.
 
!  If files are erased from the device after importing, they cannot be recovered - this should only be unticked where removing the files automatically from the device is desirable (e.g. importing from a digital voice recorder).
