Note that in the case when you in the tree (f.e. in the explorer) make selection which contain some node and its father the Delete action is disabled. This is general behaviour in the whole ide (filesystems, databases etc.). It would be good to allow this action in such that cases too. You can define order over selection and first delete the nodes from the bottom of the tree hierarchy.
I would not try to fix this--there are serious problems with permitting such deletions. At least do a search of IssueZilla first to find what the problems were that made us put in the current restriction.
Yes, I tried to find something but wasn't successful. I will try again and add more info to this issue.
I have spent time by finding something relevant to this, but wasn't successful ;-( Jesse or Yarda, can you provide more information about the problems permitting such deletions. Thanks.
Depends on issue #13426.
According to fix of issue #13426 the semantic of actions allowed for multiselections of node is different. Your use case isn't permitted, sorry. Do not select children if you want delete whole folder.
