Hello
I checked the remove functions of the Upload Widget. As far as I understand: Any remove functionality reacts only on files "inside" the Upload widget. The widget itself is not persistent: You can upload files by the widget to get files into that list. You then can delete/remove them right away. After reload the page this file list is empty. The usual business case I know is: Customer do upload files on a day and want to delete it any other day or just later. I have such a case and create a unique ID for each uploaded file. I wonder if and how it is possible to use the Upload widget by sending this ID and triggering the removeURL handler. I've found some very old entries, one with trigger the remove event by "$(".k-delete").parent().click();" but nothing happens doing that.
The most simple way would be to add a file to be deleted on that file list and then call the removeURL handler.
Is there an easy way to do that or is it better to use a separate AJAX call?

If async mode is enabled there is a way to programmatically pre-populate the Upload's file list. See the files configuration option for more details and an example.

Hi Ivan
Thank you for the link. Ummm, based on the documentation the Upload Widget would then upload the files in the list (start the uploadURL handler). In my case I would like to to call the removeURL handler. How do I do that or how does the Upload handler know it has to call the remove handler?
The saveUrl handler is not called when using the files option. The files are just rendered in the list and will look as uploaded, but are not actually uploaded. As for calling the removeUrl handler, clicking on the x button will do that. Another way to trigger the remove handler programmatically is by calling the removeFileByUid method.
