        openfiledialog.ShowDialog();


        if (openfiledialog.FileName != "")
        {

        //move through FileInfo array and store in new array of fi
            listView1.Items.Clear();

    }

and i pressed the remove button nothing happen and i saw some answer on google on the using of selectionmode but when i used that, my listbox does not have the property of selectionmode and have red lines underlined

Instead of using listView1.SelectedItems use listView1.CheckedItems and change your button2_click to:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (ListViewItem i in listView1.CheckedItems)
                listView1.Items.Remove(i);

        }
