            Bug ID: 431351
           Summary: Hard to discover how to delete large files
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.12.1
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: darktori at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
It's difficult/impossible for a user to delete a large file if the user didn't
know beforehand about shift+delete shortcut. This was observed by a
inexperienced user.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a file that doesn't fit in the Trash
2. User right clicks and is presented with "Move to trash" as the only option
allowing deletion
3. After clicking it, an error shows up in Dolphin that the file can't be
moved, with no hints how to proceed

OBSERVED RESULT
The user is left with the file still present with no way of knowing how to
actually remove it, without searching online for a solution or asking an
experienced user.

EXPECTED RESULT
Instead of a non-actionable error, there could be a prompt about deleting the
file instead. Ideally Dolphin wouldn't even give the option to move to trash if
the file is to large.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Again, I know this is solved by either using shift+delete or adding delete to
the context menu via settings, but this is coming from a new user perspective
that doesn't know about those things.
