I thought that the -f flag forced delete without prompting and the -i prompted for every file. I think they are mutually exclusive.
Perhaps we would be better to wait and see what is actually wanted.

Um, okay, well it's an odd request. It depends on the logic you want. Perhaps you could put in an alias so that everything listed was moved to your 'Recycle bin' rather than deleted, but when that gets full, or it's just too big a move, what then?
Would you be cleaning up the 'Recycle Bin' periodically?
It will take some thinking about......
