"Delete Mode for Pussies fixed now. Seriously, you people are real wimps. Imagine if I had to CONFIRM shooting someone in the face! If I can deal with the permanent consequences of shooting someone in the face without having a confirmation to stop me from doing it if I pull the trigger, deleting a file is nothing!"

Yep, that's me alright  Thanks a lot for the fix, it is much appreciated. I'll download the update today. 

Thanks for the advice everyone on how to get around this. I really like using the awesome mod but sometimes I need that delete feature to do away with files I no longer want. I noticed that in order to delete wall and floor recolors this feature seems to be the only way to get rid of them.

For some reason the awesome mod will not allow one to delete customized recolors while in the color palette section. For an example, when you go into the window that allows you to recolor a piece of clothing such as a shirt; say you decide you want to save that new color shirt and you do so by clicking the save file feature in the top left window. Then you change your mind and decide you don't want to keep the new color shirt after all. If you attempt to delete it from the same window in the top left corner while in the color palette section you will not be able to do so as long as the awesome mod is installed. I know this because I was able to use this function when awesome mod was not installed. When I installed it I was no longer able to delete files from the color palette section. To make certain it was this mod I reinstalled awesome and once more the delete function in the color palette section would not work properly.
