Based on a hint of the IDE i create a new class. Realizing directly afterwards that this class is neither needed nor wanted i try to delete it. The netbeans installation then waits until the scanning of the classpath returns. It never returns (waiting for 10 minutes or so). Since the only way to delete is safe delete (Why is that anyway? it seems so un American not to allow for choice ;-) would it not make more sense to have a delete and a refactor delete the second being the safe one ) I can not delete the offending file. I had to move to the filesystems and delete it by hand.

The Safe Delete refactoring should not do anything before the Delete dialog is shown and the user chooses to actually use safe delete. That's regardless if scanning is in progress or not. See also issue 164650.

For the time being, I removed safe delete for multi-selection from default Delete action. Safe Delete is still available from refactoring menu, of course.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200908150201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/b01fda2e1ef8 User: Pavel Flaska <pflaska@netbeans.org> Log: #134716: Do not invoke Safe Delete for multiselection. Even if scan is not in progress, it takes ages for large projects. Correct solution still not available.
