While working with Kicad on a project I noticed, what I consider
undesirable behavior on the part of Kicad.

In my project folder I have the Kicad files but I also have a bunch
of other files (a folder containing data sheets, some notes in a 
.txt file and some spice related files).  Kicad is adding the folder
and the .txt file to its project without my say-so and when I delete
these files/folders from the project Kicad is actually removing it from
my disk.

Here are my complaints.

Kicad should not be adding things to its project list without the
user's say so.

When removing items from the Kicad project list, Kicad should not
be deleting these items from the disk.  What it should do is
"unlink" those items from the project, leaving the actual items
alone otherwise. What it really should not be doing is deleting
those items from the disk.  It would be less bad if Kicad sent
the deleted items to the trash can so they can be recovered.

But really, if the first complaint is addressed the second becomes
moot, I think.
