Feature: Delete downloaded file without deleting message

Idea

It would be really useful to have an option to delete a downloaded document/media file without removing the message itself.

Current behavior

Once a file is downloaded, it stays in storage

To remove it, you either:

Delete the whole message (not ideal), or
Go to file manager/gallery and delete it manually

Suggestion

Add a “Delete file only” option (maybe on long press of the message).

What it should do

Remove the file from local storage
Keep the message in chat
Bring back the download icon so it can be downloaded again

Why this helps

Saves storage (especially for large docs/media)
Keeps chats intact
Much faster than manually cleaning files
