Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I know that I deleted a book several days ago from my instance of AudioBookShelf, but I was surprised when I tested the delete function again and saw this:

The "Delete from File system" was still checked. It should be unchecked.

Why would this be helpful?

It is possible that implementation of AudioBookShelf is on a *nix system or a Docker container running on a *nix system. Under my experience, once you delete something under *nix, it is gone forever with little hope of recovery. Thus, anything in regards to permanent deletions from the file system should not be "sticky" from previous usages. (Although a good backup also comes in handy).

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Not applicable

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.10.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
