I understand the principle that LVP is a log file viewer, not an editor, and generally it should not be writing to files.

HOWEVER, there are many times when you simply need to delete a log file, due to it being out-of-date, or you changed the format, or a million other reasons. It's inconvenient to have to manually go to the file system to perform the deletion. It would be much nicer and cleaner if you could simply right-click on the file in the LVP UI and select Delete from the context menu.Doing it this way would provide the additional benefit of having the file immediately removed from LVP, instead of deleting from the file system, then having to wait for LVP to recognize the deletion, etc...

Taking this a step further, it would be great if LVP could automatically delete log files after X number of days. For example, any log file that hasn't been updated in 10 days would be deleted. I know this would typically be done using a server-side script, but it's a hassle to create scripts, setup CRON jobs, etc... Since we're already using LVP to monitor directories and parse log files, it would be incredibly convenient to have it remove obsolete files as well. I know we can filter old files in the UI, but they continue hanging out on the server, wasting space, etc...

Yes - I think LogViewPlus has extensive capabilities and if we had the ability to script these capabilities to provide actions as a service that could be very powerful.  I like the idea, but it would take considerable time to implement.  It's not something that we are considering in the medium term.
