Full log
Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
The message "Trashing..." (which is unclear, BTW) or "Deleting..."
appears while the user is being asked whether to delete/trash.
So the message is wrong: Emacs is not (yet) deleting files.
A better message would be something like "Preparing to delete..."
A message such as "Deleting..." can give the impression that the files
are already being deleted. If you have 50 marked files, you don't want
to see a message saying that they are being deleted before you have had
a chance to cancel deletion.
