That would be the logical implementation of a trash feature in the local 
file system.

However this is the task of the driver and not the task of FAL or the 
interface.
A final and unrecoverable delete is a no-go in a modern data management 
system. You always want to have a safety period (usually 30 days) where you 
can recover anything your editors have done.
A direct and final delete should be optional and be not the default 
behavior.


BTW: I think that deleted files should be shown as stroked through (if at 
all) in the file list module and physically deleted files with still 
existing records should be shown as stroked and grayed out. But this is up 
to the UX/UI Team.

Best regards
