Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
I didn't know if Rockbox had a built-in recycling bin or not.

Since usually people have another copy of everything on their mp3 player anyway it doesn't really make sense.
Not necessarily. If you want to delete a single file you'd need to delete it and then empty the recycle bin. For 100 files at a time it would be much more comfortoble to plug into a computer and delete them all at once.
A recycle bin makes perfectly sense. Imagine you deleted 100 files over the time. This results in 100 times delete and 100 clicks to confirm the deletion.
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?
With a recycle bin there's no need for confirmation on delete, only when you want to empty the recycle bin. This saves you 99 clicks (neglecting the clicks to go to the recycle bin and open the context menu to empty the bin)!
Please read my post carefully.
