Add ability to delete file(s) from disk when removing item from project

Status: Duplicate

The "Remove from Project" menu item leaves the corresponding files on disk. I'd imagine that people would often want to delete the code altogether, if they're removing it from their project.

 

A "Remove from Project and Delete From Disk" menu item, or a "Permanently delete files from disk?" query when clicking "Remove from Project", would be very handy.

Ah, I wasn't aware of the history of this (non?)feature. Thanks for highlighting that.

 

I couldn't find an option to "abandon" an Idea; does one exist?
