Can't edit/delete files on external storage

← Poweramp F.A.Q.
For some Android versions it's not possible to edit tags or delete arbitrary files on external storage, unless additional permission is given to Poweramp.

Poweramp will ask for such permission of first attempt to edit tags / delete file on the storage if the permission is required.

Please note: "documents" standard app is used for the permission dialog and if this app is disabled / uninstalled / frozen or if ROM doesn't have this app or if the app is otherwise broken Poweramp will never get the permission and tag edit / file deletion will fail.
