Originally created by @gerroon on GitHub (Jan 21, 2019).

It seems like after deleting a file in the ui, Gitea sends the user back to the root of the repository instead of the folder where ther file is. Given that the deleted file is in a folder and the user gets to the file via that folder, it would make sense that Gitea will go back to the file's folder instead of the repository's root.

This is an issue if the deleted file is deep in somewhere and the user needs to delete multiple files, it takes a while to achieve this vbia the ui since the user needs to restart the folder travel.

Debian Buster,Gitea Version: 1.7.0-rc3

thanks

Hmm, An empty directory doesn't exist in git.

So if you delete the last file in a directory where do you redirect to?

one up instead of the root of the repo? Also this is not necessarily about the last file.
