How do I delete ringtones from the settings list?

[Android Central Question]

I have an Android UMX phone. I just installed a recording to use as my ringtone and accidentally tapped it twice which created a copy of it. I then tried to delete the copy and ended up creating a 3rd ringtone. How do I delete these extra ringtone files from the list in settings?

Thanks for the help. I am pretty sure that was one of the first things I tried (the 3 dots) and I did not see any option to delete ringtones. However, I did figure out how to do it by connecting my phone to my laptop and enabling file transfer. I could open the files on the phone and then delete them using the laptop. For some reason, I can't do it without the laptop.
And thank you for letting me know to sign up for an account. I did just that. This forum is bound to come in handy in the future. My phone does a lot of crazy things

Welcome Jennifer !
You can go to your file manager are erase the ringtones and then download again .

Welcome to Android Central! If this happens again, try also using a file manager app to look directly in the directory called /Ringtones and see if there are multiple copies of the sound file there.

Oh my gosh, I just checked out file manager and there it was plain and simple. I could select files and delete them. For some reason I hadn't looked at that app because I guess I got sidetracked with other things and forgot about it. Live and learn!
