Main reason is lack of testing at the time and ongoing discussion how
/ where to put this feature. Afraid it simply wasn't high enough on my
priority list to test it thoroughly enough to put it in so I commented
it out before release. But should have come back to that, so basically
me dropping the ball on that one.

Since this happened we now also have a function to trash stuff instead
of deleting permanently, which makes it a bit less critical. So if you
and/or others can confirm it works correctly and we change it to use
the trash, I'm fine with putting it in in the next feature release.
