Erase images after import/copying

Permanently deleted user
In the Importer tool, I'd like to remove files from their original location after the import is finished.
But the checkbox can only be marked when importing from an external memory card.

Is there a way to remove files from a directory of the internal disk once the import has been finished?
Or is there a way to run an external script/command that takes care of the removal?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Really, no one?

    One of the many missing DAM features. It has also annoyed me already.

    My workaround was to first move the images into separate folders to import them in batches and if the import went fine I deleted the folder.

    Hi Harald, thanks for your reply.
    That's what I'm doing as well.
    I was hoping for a better alternative to "...if the import went fine I deleted the folder." 😊
    Support Team told me that they will forward this request to their R&D team... let's see.

    This still isn't a feature. :(

    Why should it be a feature?

    In most cases the consensus seems to be that re-formatting a memory card in-camera is a best practise option and it takes a few seconds. 

    What is the advantage of doing things differently?

    One danger of deleting automatically from a disk location (i.e. NOT a memory card) is that sometimes one may be importing from a location that is also used by other applications. Not great if one was to accidentally delete a folder of RAW files that were actively in use by other applications.
