I guess you should not consider something that you see dangerous as something others need shouldn't have. It could be easily convenient for your utilisation and mine with an option feature "allow to delete currently playing file" or something like this.

    GregZone If you want to protect your files, just control the permissions of the user that you use to connect to the SMB share to prevent deletions.

      Is this feature on the roadmap at all?

      Im really missing it. I have a large collection of media and i really want to be able to delete an episode or movie as soon as I watched it or found boring.

      My collection is constantly growing as I have automated downloads set up and it is frustrating that I have to use my laptop to do clean ups instead of just deleting files right from the app.

      Can anyone from the devs comment please on whether we should expect this feature at all? this topic has been brought up many times by now.

        Hello, I'm sorry that deleting files from a Samba share is not listed as one of our priorities now.

          I'd like to add a +1 for this feature.

          For me personally it's pretty much at the top of my feature request list. I'd love being able to delete movies after watching them to save space. Currently I have to manually do that afterwards from a computer, which is a waste of time when you have a large collection.

                  Any news here ? would be awesome to have that feature.
                  Should be issue with the rights, if the account dont have the rights you cant delete anything, its managed by the device which providing the smb share, like a nas where you set up the rights for the user on the specific folders.

                      Also agree this would be a very useful feature.

                        +1 from me, would be a fantastic feature. If TV Ep or movie was bad quality or boring, just delete it right there!

                          Hey all, thank you for your feedback and vote! We'll consider adding this feature in a future release.
