Description

Right now, if you delete a file in a group, you just hit "delete" and the file gets removed. I think we should require a confirmation of file deletions to ensure that files aren't deleted accidentally. Perhaps a pop-up saying something like "Confirm deletion of [filename]" with an "OK" button. Or whatever implementation sounds better to you and Chris.

Using a popup to confirm deletion is fine with me.

Another possible style is doing the deletion first and then adding a popup that says "File xxx was deleted. Undo" where undo is a link. Google uses this now for example when you delete a file in google drive. However deleting a file is a more deliberate process there (you have to check a box and then click the trash icon) so mistakes are less likely. We have the delete link right next to the edit link so it's easier to make a mistake so unless we're going to change the interface, the first option, confirmation before deletion, seems to make the most sense to me.
