Hi, it is a risky setting to be persistently set.
Anyway, I'll include a permanent choice somehow on next release.

    Yes, send to recycle bin.

      Hi, Sorry to bother you, Has this option been disabled? I have "Delete Source Files" ticked but does not delete. This is on Version 2.2.6

        Made an account just to say I'm experiencing the same.
        Here is a screenshot with the button enabled and the resulting status as "Success".
        It should say something like "Success, Deleted".

Well, you can trust Success, if Delete source file is enabled and any file is not deleted, a message will pop up, and in the log file at the end there will be a list of not deleted files.

  Hello @eibol, Yes you're correct. I see that the delete happens after the encoding completes all items on the list. I suggest there be an option to delete source after individual file is encoded. This approach optimizes free available space.

I see your point, however deleting files just after encoded slows queue processing, since files sometimes are not released immediatly after encoding, so either deleting fails, or some attempts are required.
Regarding free space, since files are actually sent to the recycle bin, file is not saved, unless bin capacity is reached.

Hi, I'm working on a solution so files are recycled/deleted one by one or at the end of the queue as a. choice. For next release.

Would it be possible to add a delete feature to item/s that are in the queue (that have NOT yet been encoded once encoding has started), But can remove/delete from the queue before they get encoded?

Keep up the Great work.
Cheers WK
