hello, i just wanted to thank u guys for this useful project, i had an issue with it and i think its common to all users. i had a hard drive, 160GB with ~2 million file in it. i used windirstat to check and hopefully delete some files in it. but there was a problem*: every time i navigated to a folder and hit delete, after deletion it took about 5 minutes to refresh the directory structure, it took me almost an hour to delete ~20 folders. (the deletion process was fast around 5 second, but the refreshing process was slow) i just had an idea to add a check box before every directory or file, so i can select the files i want, even in different folders, then hit delete and it would be so great! just like a selection basket and add files and folders to it for one time deletion.

This overlaps in part with multi-select.
