I think that connector requires actually the file Id. Its bit confusing since when you pick the file manually it just shows the file path.
So you want to first use "List files in folder" OneDrive action. Then that lists the files and folders.It has .Id property in the List of Connector objects
You need to use that in your variable that you use in the Delete file action "File name" field.
So you need to build bit of extra logic so you select the correct file id.Something like this:
List files in folder lists all files in the selected folder.For each loops those filesIf checks if current loops file name is same as %FileName% -variable (test.txt) If it is then it sets loops file id to %FileId% -variableDelete file action uses %FileId% -variable.

This is how most Microsoft cloud packages work in PAD. You can't achieve everything in a straightforward manner as per their documentation, and it always requires some workaround to make it work 🙂
