Ah this must have been changed since the last time I used it
and I do not like it since its is not obvious what to do
next.

Remove file: somedir/somefile

Remove file "somedir/somefile"? (y or n)

or even better

Remove file "somedir/somefile"? (yes or no)

I like the last one best, it is clearer and saver to me.
Also its more consistent with dired, which the binding are
