how to delete files?

[Malagodi]

How do I delete files that I've created from the pubcamp wiki?

[Andy Carvin]

I've got admin access so I can now either rename the page or delete it. Which do you want me to do at this point?

Thanks,
ac

Delete. Thanks. I'll try to use the group in future.

[Malagodi]

Is there any way for me as the author to do these kinds of things or
must I bother an administrator?

That's a good question - does it make sense for each station hosting a pubcamp to have one person assigned as an admin? I'm okay with that if no one else objects.

[Malagodi, Stephen D.]

Why can't the author of a page just be allowed to delete or rename their own pages? Is it all or nothing?

[Andy Carvin]

I just don't know if the wiki software allows it. Any PBwiki gurus know one way or another?

It's possible for sure. Here are the different user permission levels:

Administrators
As an Administrator, you can rename or delete anything on the
workspace. Administrators can add users, change their permission
levels or remove them. Admins alone have access to the workspace's
Settings page and are also the only ones who can change page and
folder level security settings. Admins are the only ones who can see
Hidden pages or edit Locked pages.

Editors
Editors are trusted helpers who are highly privileged Writers. They
can rename or delete pages, files and folders. Editors should be
highly trusted, since they can delete your data irrevocably.

Writers
The recommended default for invited users. Writers can edit pages and
revert pages to previous versions. They can also upload new files and
create new pages. Writers cannot perform any action that cannot be
undone.

Readers
Readers cannot make any modifications at all to a workspace, except
for commenting on pages. They can view pages, RSS feeds, and files.
They can also see the history of changes that have been made to a
page. Admins can disable commenting by Readers on the workspace
security page.

Page Level Only
A role unique to PBworks 2.0, these users have no special access to
any part of the workspace until they are explicitly given access to a
page or a folder with the Custom Security setting. This feature allows
you to give individual users up to Editor level permissions on a
single page (or group of pages in a folder) without giving them access
to any other part of the workspace.

Ok, so with Editor status I could rename or delete -anyone's- files, not just mine, and with writer's status I can edit, but not rename or delete?

[Andy Carvin]

That's right. I've upgraded you to editor, so please behave yourself. :-) Will do the same thing for other pubcamp organizers that request it.
