Description
If you want to delete an attached PDF, note, or any other file Zotero allows you to "Delete Selected Item From Library..." which sounds like you might be deleting the item the attachment is attached to and not the attachment.
Proposed Solution:
To clear up the ambiguity I would suggest at least two variants:
"Delete Selected Attachment From Library..."
"Delete Selected Note From Library..."

This one will need a new patch, since buildItemContextMenu() changed a lot in r9932.

WONTFIX, since this would require changing all menu options to refer to "attachment"/"note" instead of "item", and people should probably just learn that there can be attachment items and note items.
(Also, it's now Move Item to Trash…, so less scary.)
Correct patch, without detritus
