Checkin the input value in the process task and use the same variable in message box.
once you get the file from uploaded location, you will be able to delete the file using File Package.

So you want to override or delete the file within AARI Form itself. Is correct?
yes
Please try with below options,
- Use Assign to set one of the following actions:
- Append: Specified values or variables are added to the selected Dropdown element.
- Overwrite: Specified values or variables replace the existing data in the selected Dropdown element.

Additional Reference - Interactive Forms in A360 | AARI for Desktop
Please check out the above link in point 9. There is option for reset/delete the element of the form.
i hope this helps!
