      Delete from disk does delete file only when file is playing.
      this is odd
      I expect it to delete any file
      playing or not ,
      in database or not
      when file is in playlist...
      Am I wrong to assume this?

      using linux
      strawberry 1.0.22, 1.0.23

        solved
        other than the /home/user ,
        I had another mounted filesystem as root and a user directory with music files in it.
        not trash directory like
        .Trash
        or
        .Trash-1000
        at the root of this file system
        strawberry can not create another .trash directory at root of this filesytem
        (trash directory need to be at root of filesytem
        then can not use it then do not delete
        and do not use the "desktop user one" the one for /home/user

        solution:
        do not have top mounted directory as root but as strawberry user
        or create a
        .Trash
        directory with good permission for strawberry user at the root dir of the mounted filesytem

          there is option enable delete from disk option in playlist also but selecting option only removes from the list but not from list disk in windows 10.

          I prefer to oraganaze file like deleting or editing(info) while listening to music or quickly.

          The player is nice, simple native style
