As rc.conf file shows, the <DELETE> key is translated to 'console delete'.
'Console' is a ranger function defined in commands.py. 'Console delete' 
runs self.fm.open_console(delete). As the documentation line there
says:
        self.fm.open_console(string): Open the console with the 
                                      given string already typed in
                                      for you.

You are interested in:
        self.fm.execute_console(string): Execute the string 
                                         as a ranger command.


You may try adding a new command and use that instead of 'console',
but what you need can be done just fine by the 'shell' command. Just
replace 'console delete' with 'shell -d rm %s'.
