Do you want to remove the file that you downloaded from the hard drive or are you talking about the files you see in the Downloads Manager (Downloads folder in the Library)?

For the former you need to go to the download location on the hard drive where you originally saved the file like posted above. For the latter you can right-click that item in the Library and click "Remove from History" or use the Organize menu (Delete).

Get to menu, the button which is made of lines, get to Downloads. You can delete downloads from the list or you can open downloads folder by pressing the"Open download location"
