Since asking me to remove encrypted files without providing me with the passphrase would be an effective way to censor the file host, I'm afraid I can't remove them. If you, or the IWF, has the passphrase, please send it to me so I can investigate it further. If that's not possible, I hope you understand I can't remove them.
