Undelete in Rockbox?

Please read my post carefully. I was talking about Rockbox, not a recycle bin in general. And for Rockbox it wouldn't make much sense simply because if you delete a file from the player you want it deleted. That file has been synced from the PC anyway, so there is really no need to keep a "recycle bin copy".
Besides, Windows asks you if you want to delete a file or move it to the recycle bin depending if you disabled the recycle bin or not (or deleting with shift hold), so you have that 100 clicks in both cases. With the recycle bin you also need to empty the recycle bin later (another click). So what's the point of your clicking argument?

Noone is talking about a recycle bin in general:

It does not. It wouldn't make much sens anyway.

Not everyone is as perfect as you. At least I had more than once mistakenly deleted files and it looks like I'm not the only one.

I assume you don't have a player with a recorder.

Is it really that hard to understand?

LOL, you're the right one to say it.

I think theres general agreement that this isn't going to be accepted, so rather then have people bicker about nothing, I'm closing it.
