deleting files

[Mattt]

Interestingly, my younger brother got bitten by this bug(?) just this
morning. Sadly, he chose 'yes' - and promptly realised he had
highlighted a folder who's contents had kept him up all of last night
collecting :-/

Hehe - well, now he knows why I'm forever chanting the '1st rule of
computing'...
