Bug Description

It should be very useful to have an option to delete files from card after download…
Either in software preference so that it is applied each time or somewhere on destination tab so it applies only when user want.

This gets may vote. This is my single biggest issue WRT RPD . Issues arise in the real world, cards unplugged, devices switched off, so it's never 100% that you downloaded all your photos.
So either, I leave everything on SD cards , until suddenly I'm out on a shoot an realise the cards are full and just reformat assuming I've backed it all up, or I do some kind of "visual scan" each time I download and hope to spot any missing.

Both these to lost data.

Far better that a computer checks the downloads against the card than my "best guess"

This sort of problem can be avoided by ensuring that files are not deleted until the very end of the download process.

An additional feature could be that only selected photos are deleted.

However, I think it is important that such options are not activated by default.
