Move to trash instead of delete
Deleting is dangerous, it is far more safe to move files to trash. Currently it's possible to miss the file forever even if you just wanted to 'Open Containing Folder'.

This just happened to me:
Realised I meant to click "Remove folder from project".
Too late. All gone.
The best part is this: it was a version-controlled project folder, but ST3 even deleted the .git subdirectory.
A single click for a recursive delete operation, with no prompt, and no way to reverse it afterwards? In a context menu that also contains a similarly named non-destructive operation which is used frequently?
Wowsers!
Just did the same thing Callum did; deleted an entire folder instead of "Remove from Project". Often, delete folder = remove.
Sublime not only deleted the folder, but made the entire folder undeletable! I tried 2 undeleting programs (Win7), with out saving anything else to the HD, & not a single item could be found on the entire HD. Though I should back up more often, I lost $15 worth of MP3s & 3 hours of time trying to recover.
Please either add a "Are you sure?" dialog, or disable the menu option by default.
Ah, I have to rename a file to .cpp instead of .c -- it's a good thing I haven't committed this new tricky code file to the repo yet aaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.
It looks like ST3 a) prompts to delete folders and b) moves files/folders to trash
if you want to change this behavior, just edit `Packages/Default/side_bar.py`. If you don't have this behavior, remove whatever dodgy sidebar plugins you have installed...
This is absolutely the worst UX imaginable. Such a great IDE, but to have one of the worst UX mistakes in history that I thought was wiped out a decade ago, is mind blowing.
