[ 739953 ] Delete folders

... and several other requests ...

[ 1439244 ] delete directory function

>From the looks of it there is a delete directory/folder* feature but we've
not noticed it and it doesn't behave exactly as you might expect.  I am
always at great pains to remind developers that features need to
discoverable and including things in the context menu should only be an
optional extra, as it has both usability and accessibility issues.

I prefer to delete to the Trash/Recycle Bin but then inevitably you will
get people asking for a "Direct Delete" option so they can more
efficiently shoot themselves in the foot.  I can sort of understand the
reluctance to add easy ways to delete folders.  Having said that if I
could do a little more file management in GQView I might never use
Nautilus again.

* Folder is the recommended term in Gnome, for what it is worth and if I
had admin access (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) I would probably make sure
both terms directory and folder were included in the request summary in
the hope of reducing duplicate requests.  (John, feel free to give me
admin rights in the request tracker. ;)
