Description

I think that deleting ISO/WBFS/GCZ/CISO/WAD/ELF/DOL/whatever files should move them to the Trash or Recycling Bin as opposed to the current behavior where they are permanently deleted. I suppose wanting to save space could be the reason for this design. But honestly, how often will the average user be deleting game ISOs? Additionally, many compressed game ISOs are only a gigabyte or two, especially for the GameCube, and WAD files among others take up a very small amount of space. In today's world having a few gigabytes in the Recycling Bin isn't a big deal (most users probably delete only one or two game ISOs at a time).

I would prefer having to deal with occasionally emptying my Recycling Bin because of a few game ISOs as opposed to having to redump a game disc because I accidentally deleted it.

This could be an option in the Config if it's a setting not everyone would like, though if so I think it would be best to be enabled by default.
