Description Josh Biggs 2010-02-19 13:24:52 UTC 
Banshee does not ask for confirmation when performing 'delete from drive', nor does it move the file to the trash. This is not an appropriate UI design. The user should be, at a minimum, able to recover an accidental erasure and ideally be able to confirm the delete via pop-up message. This pop-up message can be marked to not show up again at the user's decision. 

I experienced this myself recently when I had some songs sorted by name. I was playing two duplicate files trying to determine if it was okay to remove one of the duplicates. For some reason, playing a song resorted the order and I accidentally removed the wrong song. There was no ask to confirm the delete, and no way to recover the file. The file was simply gone.

When I use the "Delete from Drive" action, through the edit menu or after right-clicking on a track, Banshee does ask me for confirmation : I get a dialog box saying "Are you sure...".

How exactly do you delete your file ?
Do you never get this confirmation dialog ?

"Move to Trash" bug is tracked at #545937.  Not closing as a dupe since you basically reported two issues in one bug (please don't do that!).
Comment 3 Josh Biggs 2010-02-22 03:49:29 UTC 
I just tested again and it seems that I do get a pop-up warning message. Assuming that bug #545937 is tracking the "move to trash" issue, you can close this bug as resolved.

Thanks.
