As another file, such as a text document: Right click -> delete or open the scores folder and delete it.
Drag it to the Recycle Bin, located at the end of the Dock. Or, select the file and press Command (⌘) -Delete.
Thanks, but I tried both dragging to Trash and Command + Delete and neither worked. It's still there. Right click does not work on these files. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Are you talking about a score on your cdomputer, or on musescore.com? On your computer, the trash should work unless there is a bug in Mac OS that you would need to report to Apple. Can you be more specific?

The file is locked? Do a little research on the net (eg. Https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201583 )

I'm talking about a score that I created and saved in MuseScore. There is too much incorrect about it, and I need to delete it and start over. There doesn't appear to be a bug on my Mac that prevents me from using drag to Trash. It works with files outside of MuseScore.

I guess if the file is still open in MuseScore, that might prevent the delete from working. So be sure to close the file. In fact, close MuseScore. If you still have trouble deleting the file with MuseScore closed, there is no way this could be anything MuseScore is doing wrong, and maybe the next step is to find someone else who is a Mac expert to look over your should to see what might be going wrong.

Wow - that actually worked to close MuseScore and drag the file from my computer's Finder to the Trash. Gone! Thanks so much!

Does the Mac typically not give an error message when the file is still in use, or is it up to the application to do that instead of the operating system?
None of these answers work for me or make any sense at all. Call Apple? That's the best you've got? Will they understand MuseScore? Probably not. I'm having trouble with this too.

Yes. MuseScore does not delete files, ever. Deleting files is a matter of the operating system and its tools.

Hmm... don't mix apples with oranges (or, more precisely, apples with windows).
The OP (original poster) is on a Mac. (Although file delete procedures are similar.)
This link:
https://musescore.org/en/node/325564
shows you are trying to delete a score on a Windows Surface, yes?
Then please answer the questions there.
(Also, for Windows, you would need to call Microsoft rather than Apple ;-)
