Is it possible to disable the "Deleting file" message and progress bar?

Of course it's possible.  Set up a development environment, modify poll_cancel_action() in apps/fileop.c to not show the splash for deletion (as opposed to copying and moving) operations, compile a new binary for your device.

But keep in mind that disabling the progress splash won't let you do anything else while the operation is happening; the UI will just appear to hang until it's finished, and that's probably not what you want.

(Of course, changing that is also possible, but would require a substantial amount of work)

I find that message useful, because it tells me that the deletion was successful. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any feedback if it failed.

But of course, different users may have different tastes.

The message isn't useful for me because the deletion happens so fast that it just flashes for a millisecond and too briefly to read. There is an error message if the deletion fails.
