When I select Permanently Delete under Deleted files in the browser interface and enter my correct password and confirm delete, I get a WHATS NEW info pop-up and the delete option closes when that window is closed. Screenshot here:

Are you certain that you're using the correct password when attempting to delete the file?

Okay, so you type in the password, then click on Permanently Delete, and the site takes you to that page and file isn't permanently deleted, is that correct?
