 Package the updated manifest and changed files at their original relative paths
 in a ZIP or tar.gz outside the plugin directory. The upload **overlays** the
-current release: omitted files and binary assets remain. The editor cannot
-delete files, even when given a complete archive. Explain an unsupported
-deletion rather than claiming omission removes a file.
+current release: omitted files and binary assets remain unless explicitly
+listed in `delete_paths`. To delete files, collect their exact plugin-root-relative
+file paths from the current inventory; directories and globs are not supported.
+Include any changes needed to remove references
+to those files in the same update, and leave unrelated files intact. The tool
+deletes files directly; no browser editing workflow is needed.
 
 ## Upload and verify
 
 For a shared workspace plugin, show what will change for others and get
 publication authorization if not already supplied. Invoke `update_plugin` with
 the verified `plugin_id`, absolute archive path as `archive`, and the observed
-`current_release_id` as `expected_release_id`.
+`current_release_id` as `expected_release_id`. Pass the requested file removals
+as `delete_paths`; keep those paths out of the uploaded archive. If the available
+tool does not expose `delete_paths`, report that deletion is unavailable in this
+session instead of uploading an archive that leaves the files in place.
 
 If the release changed, fetch current source and reconcile the edits before
 retrying; do not merely replace the expected ID on an old archive. Stop on
 access denial or identity mismatch until the actual problem is resolved.
 Distinguish packaging, upload, and authorization errors in the explanation.
 
-After success, read back the affected source with `get_plugin_files`. Verify the
-returned release and preservation checks. If it changed again or read-back is
-unavailable, report the saved update separately from unverified checks; do not
-automatically publish again.
+After success, read back the affected source with `get_plugin_files`. For file
+deletions, follow every `next_offset` in the inventory and verify that each
+requested path is absent. Verify the returned release, updated references, and
+preservation checks. If it changed again or read-back is unavailable, report the
+saved update separately from unverified checks; do not automatically publish again.
 
 Link the returned `plugin_url` using the manifest's human-readable display name,
 escaped as plain text for a Markdown label; use `View plugin` if absent. Report
