Sorry about the brusque reply. I entered it before I'd finished. But, of course, I now know how to delete using the file manager - I didn't know that files in LibreOffice Writer ended up there.
So, when you open that dialog it looks like a file manager but is not, hope that clears it up. It also remembers the last folder or folders you opened from and like John points out may need to look in other saved spots?

Rep:
To put it simply: Writer is not a file manager.
Writer will open a dialogue to show you files which it can open but it is not a file manager so does not give options for working with files.
