Deleting Files: the _Rejected folder
FastRawViewer doesn’t allow one to delete files directly from the current folder. Instead, the files
you intend to delete can be moved to a _Rejected subfolder, located in the current folder. This folder
is created the first time a user requests that a file be moved to said folder. This is intentional, and
exists to ensure that no shots are accidentally deleted:

There are many situations when the system “trashbin” can’t be used (removable drives,
network folders and drives); also, in certain cases the operational system may delete part of
the content of the system trashbin (for example, when the size of the trashbin is over the
limit) without even requesting confirmation from the user.

Flash cards and card readers are prone to hardware malfunctions, and moving a file into a
subfolder is the safest file operation.
To delete files, after you are sure nothing is in to the _Rejected folder, which shouldn’t be (the
_Rejected folder can be browsed with FastRawViewer as any folder), you can use the Clear _Rejected
Folder operation (see below)
By default, the _Rejected folder is a subfolder of the current folder (i.e., each folder has its own
_Rejected subfolder). In certain cases, this may be inconvenient. To address this, you can use a global
_Rejected folder by changing the preferences in Preferences – Copy/Move/Reject:

Use global rejected folder – Check.

Select the path for the Global Rejected Folder.
Clearing out the _Rejected Folder
To delete the contents of the _Rejected folder, use Menu – File – Clear _Rejected folder.
Clearing the folder with rejected files is irreversible, so

You cannot set a hotkey for the Clear _Rejected action.

When choosing this action, an additional, un-turn-off-able warning will be displayed:
The OK button will only be accessible after checking Yes, I’m sure checkbox.
