Does XBMC support the deleting of files of folders? Eg in the view when browsing movies etc.
Sometimes want to delete a movie and have to do it on the back computer.

Thanks

Yes. You'll need to allow it by checking the 'Allow file renaming and deletion' option under settings -> appearance -> file lists.

^AFAIK that does not delete folders or any associated .nfo, tbn og fanart files - meaning you still have to do some manual cleanup outside XBMC afterwards anyhow.

Any update on this? Would be great to get rid of the whole movie directory from within XBMC!

I handle this task via the VideoFiles-Dialog, where can browse through all your movie folders (with covers) and complete the whole folder at once. This dialog accepts the "Delete"-Action, but you have to add the following code to your keymap, if don't want to always open the context menu for deleting folders.

Code:

<MyVideoFiles>
    <keyboard>
      <delete>Delete</delete>
    </keyboard>
  </MyVideoFiles>
