To effectively accommodate WCAG 2.2 updates on file uploads and ensure users can reuse previously uploaded files, a "remove" link should be provided once a file is uploaded. This empowers user to decide when to delete a file, rather than having the system automatically remove it. This flexibility enhances usability and aligns with accessibility best practices. For example, if a file upload is part of a filter alongside other inputs like checkboxes, users can retain the file for subsequent searches or remove it when it's no longer needed. Providing a "remove" link ensures users have full control over their uploaded files, improving both accessibility and the overall user experience. User research has also shown that providing explicit controls, link a "remove" link, aligns with WCAG's emphasis on user autonomy and reduces frustration caused by automatic actions.
