All your "filenames" can be retrieved and freed by looping through the list:
Something like:
GSList *next_ptr = Files_to_Add;
while (next_ptr != NULL)
{
        g_free(next_ptr->data);  //this frees the filenames
        next_ptr = g_slist_next(next_ptr);
}
g_slist_free(Files_to_Add); //this frees the list
