      I would like to be able to delete the attachments I uploaded.
      There are however no "Remove" links there, as I'm guessing I don't have the correct permissions.

      If a user has uploaded an attachment, they should automatically be allowed to remove them?

            Thanks for the response @Joris. It feels, however, that these permissions should be tied. If I can upload and update a file, I should also have permissions to remove it (the files that I "own").

            I also have to reiterate that I was surprised that dragging and dropping a page beneath another (with the intent of making them nested) not only didn't work, but created a link of a page back to itself as an attachment without asking if that was what I wanted to do. But that sounds like a different bug to file.

            @Bri Gipson I think you simply don't have the permission to do so then. The feature is definitely in Confluence since 2016, whether to use/allow it or not is up to your administrator now

            I don't see how this is resolved. While thinking that I could drag-and-drop a page beneath another one (silly me!) Confluence decided to make that page's link an attachment to its own page. It effectively created a .url file attachment to my page. I tried to remove it and there was no feature or function or button or capability to do so. All I could do is "edit", which didn't work. I resorted to downloading the .url file, editing it in Sublime and re-uploading it with comments warning others of Confluence's behavior. All I want to do is delete an attachment that Confluence has labeled me as creating (which I did not).
