Currently the dialog on file deletion only says something like "Are you sure that you want to permanently delete the 2 selected files?".

It would be useful to have a list in that dialog that shows the folders and files to be deleted. It should contain the date of the files/folders, for files the size and for folders one out of empty/contains only files/contains only folders/contains files and folders. The distinction between only folders/files and folders should be done recursively, which causes no performance issues since you can stop on the first file found.

The benefits of this list are:
* When deleting multiple files, the current dialog gives you no hint what you are actually deleting.
* When deleting folders, you cannot see whats inside them. The list would provide some hints.

Thanks

The user should better check what to delete before doing it.
