Deleting files other than images?

I can't seem to delete a sound file. It didn't upload correctly, and I can't get rid of it. It does not have an "edit" link when I focus on that file.

. Don't know if this will work or not, but try uploading a small file with the same filename. Doesn't matter what kind of file it is, just as long as it's small (smaller than what is on the server already) and has the same name, including extension, as the problem file. If it uploads OK, it may reset some pointers and allow you to overwrite it with your original file.
. Just a wild guess. Don't think it will hurt to try.
. If that doesn't work, try PMing someone on staff and they should be able to get someone to delete the file from the server.
