don't use Shift+d. Instead, just use 'd', then when you have finished
marking all the files you want to delete with 'd', hit 'x' and they are
deleted. You are also prompted before the delete happens to confirm
thats what you want to do (with the list of files marked to be deleted
in a pop-up window.
Note that in Emacs 23, emacs will use a trash can by default.
