sorry but there is no option like this. but if you like you can delete them manually for these : 1.open downloads from menu button on right or by simply pressing (Ctrl +J ) 2.Then select the downloaded file you want to delete by a single click on it. 3. You will find a folder type icon on right side of that , in which you should click. 4. Then it will open folder where the selected file saved. 5. Then you can delete that file . OK done
