You will see the delete confirmation prompt - exactly the same as previously, but containing one more option - “Delete the real files and folders from the disk(s)”.

This works both for Search results (for example, after finding duplicates) and for the main grid view when you browsing your catalog file. So… Select a file, a folder or several entries in WinCatalog. We implemented TWO confirmation messages before you delete your files, but, once again, please be careful and review what you’re intending to delete before processing the Queue in order not to lose something important. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, this is the very dangerous feature, use it on your own risk and responsibility. This feature may be helpful for those who, for example, want to clean their drives or wipe duplicated contents. And the second step - you click the Start button in the File Operation Queue and WinCatalog performs the real file operations - moving to the Recycle Bin, or deleting permanently: depending on your preferences - asking you to connect missing disks. On the first step, you just mark files for deletion and add them to the File Operation Queue to delete them later. Since the files you delete may be located in various disks and some of them may not be connected to your computer at the moment, the deletion process consists of two steps. This was the most wanted feature based on the feedback and suggestions we collected among all our customers. The main new feature of this update is the ability to delete real files and folders right from WinCatalog. Hello, we’re glad to announce that the new version of WinCatalog 2019 (version 19.0) was released.
