I think the extra prompt would do the trick.  Deleting several files
takes some time, and I'm one who likes to maintain a clean drive, and
not being able to remove empty folders, or folders with files that I'm
finished with is bothersome.  We have enough things to listen to,
fumbling through folders that we don't need is too much.

Thank you, that's pretty much what I thought.  I was just wondering if

there was the possibility of doing harm to the BP.  Thank you for =
letting us know that there isn't.

I only say it because one could potentially lose many files without
realizing what is really happening.  True, one can do this in Windows,
but Windows has the concept of the recycle bin, so you can get them
back
if you make a mistake.

Larry,  I'm curious why you said this.  Is it possible that it could

Thanks, Sarah

We are going to look at that for version 2.1, but I don't think it is
a
good idea to delete folders with files in them.

will it ever be possible to delete folders from the bp or will we just
allways have to do it from the pc?
Why cant we remove folders from the bp at this time?
