Nexus 5 deleting Downloads
I have a Nexus 5 running Lollipop. In my Downloads folder I have some files I wish to delete but there seems to be no such facility. Two files are zip which cannot be opened and others are not wanted PDFs. I therefore USB connected to a PC, accessed the Downloads folder internally and deleted the contents. However, when I then accessed the folder on the Nexus all the same files were still shown as present except, understandably, none could be opened.
So, how can I delete the listing in the downloads folder of non existent files?
BTW, I have downloaded the ES File Explorer but it appears to do no more than using a PC via USB. It does not help here.
