Here is an example I made (bored and tired of studying :)). It is by no means the best just a quick thing to show you an example, click the image you want to delete and then press the delete button or DEL to remove and image from the panel:
When app starts up (orange just shows focused label for hovering):
Image to delete is selected by clicking on the Label (Border becomes green highlighted and will remain this way until another label is clicked):
After delete button or key is pressed:
