If you want to free up the most amount of space you will need to use a file manager or a computer and delete the rom from wherever you stored it on your device and then find the DraStic folder in your internal memory and delete the .dss files named after the rom and the .dsv fike named the same as the rom.

There is no direct option to do this in DraStic. The rom could be very hard since various versions of Android do not allow programs to modify certain parts of storage, but there should be an option to delete savestates/ingame saves using a memory manager type function. It would be a nice add.

Drastic Used to support deleting roms if you tap and held on a rom, but ever since the update with the new UI, that feature appears to have been removed

I think it is due to the changes they made to support some of the newer filesystem rules for android devices running the newer versions.
