Delete

📝 Description

Delete files and directories safely and efficiently! The Delete tool offers precise control over delete operations - from individual files to complete directory structures with recursive deletion.

With clear confirmation feedback and detailed error handling, you always know exactly what was deleted and whether the operation succeeded. Ideal for cleanup work, temp file cleanup, and automated file management.

🚀 Why This Tool Stands Out

• 🛡️Safe Deletion with confirmation

• ✅Clear Feedback after every operation
• 📦Batch-Ready for bulk deletion
