If a project has a file for download, and that file is associated with a version within the project, and the project does not have the issue tracker module enabled, then the file cannot be deleted, not even by an admin user.

This is because:

in acts_as_attachable.rb

        def attachments_deletable?(user=User.current)
          (respond_to?(:visible?) ? visible?(user) : true) &&
            user.allowed_to?(self.class.attachable_options[:delete_permission], self.project)
        end

i.e. first test if the version is visible to the user, but in version.rb

  def visible?(user=User.current)
    user.allowed_to?(:view_issues, self.project)
  end

which only succeeds if issues are enabled.
