Nadya,
How about mimicking VFP behavior. That is, mark the files in the grid (maybe with a checkbox) for deletion. When the user finally makes up their mind to accept the changes they made (I'm assuming that must happen at some point!) issue the TABLEUPDATE() and based on the return value, delete the marked files. This way, you don't have to worry about undeleting, trashcans, or recycle bins.

However, form uses 5 buffering, which means, that user may regret his/her action and press a revert button. The records become undeleted, but the files are already gone.
