Help Is it possible to search and delete mp3 or other files directly on the phone?

Greetings:

I have 16 GB of songs in my Micro SD cards located in many directories and sub-directories. Is it possible to search through the Micro SD card for a specific song and delete it from the phone? I am able to use the Google search setting and find the songs but I don't see any options to delete it. I have to pull out the Micro SD plug it into my notebook and delete it using Window explorer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use a file manager. I use Astro. From there, find the music. Long press it. Option to delete should be there...

Many music players do this as well. In Google play music, a drop down box opens to delete.

The default file browser is Files and will allow you to delete files from the phone, but is pretty basic and limited. I use ES File Explorer (free on Google Play) and allows you to search, copy, move, delete, browse network shared folders, etc. It is very powerful yet simple to use.

Thank you all for your help.

I try both Astro and ES file manager. I like the fastness and Astro interface but I am unable to find a way to delete the mp3 files after the search result. If I touch and hold the files two options pops up, "Open file" and "Open Directory" As opposed to the easy ES file manager, the interface is so so, the search is not as quick as Astro. But at least the delete option is there. I just need to touch, hold the files and a menu pops up with a "Delete" option.
