Like TiVo, delete dialog on finish
I don't know how many folks would find this useful, obviously based on your use case. For me I use my tv shows and podcasts library sections in plex the same way I use my TiVo. I don't hang onto things, I delete most things when I'm done watching. In the same way the TiVo works, I'd like it if when I finish a video in plex if it'd ask me if I'd like to delete the file.  
Obviously this would be on off/on setting, perhaps even just being enabled for those of us that have enabled the delete media setting. Just a thought.

IIRC this has been requested a number of times but I would also love this feature.
