Add an option to automatically delete the associated file when removing an Additional App from a game in LaunchBox, just like the existing prompt when deleting a main game file.
When removing an Additional App (e.g., ROM hack, patch version, or alternate executable), LaunchBox should prompt:
“Do you also want to delete the associated file from disk?”
Include a checkbox in the prompt to remember the user’s preference (e.g., Always ask, Always delete, Never delete).
Option could be configured globally
A user manages several ROM hack versions under one game entry.
They remove older or broken versions from the Additional Apps list.
Instead of manually locating and deleting each file, LaunchBox automatically deletes them from disk when confirmed.
Saves time during large-scale cleanup or ROM curation.
Keeps library folders tidy and prevents build-up of unused files.
Provides consistency with existing delete behavior for main game entries.
Should include safeguards to prevent accidental deletions (e.g., confirmation prompt, Recycle Bin support).
Particularly helpful for users managing large modded or custom collections where Additional Apps are frequently added and removed.
