As a point of clarification, when you have a file open in Adobe Reader and tap on the upper left corner, tap Home, then tap Documents. Then you can delete a file. I was mistaking the labe of Documents at the top of the screen with the list of recently viewed files underneath to be the area from which you can delete files - you cannot. You must tap on Documents and then can swipe horizontally to delete the file.
Thanks!
