File Operations: smarter file delete feature

Empty folder detection is opened in advanced options and ignored files matching pattern was filled in, but the file (like: .DS_Store) could not be deleted.  I don't know what the right pattern is. Who can help me, please?

The separator character foobar2000 wants is semicolon (;) but your strings have commas (,). You should also change *url to *.url just to be safe.

Sorry, I'm careless. I have corrected the mistake, but still cannot be deleted.

Unless there is something else still present in the dirs, those changes are enough to get your sample dir from the 7z to disappear.
I'll paste my strings here just in case.
Ignore files matching pattern: *.png;*.jpg;*.cue;*.pdf;*.txt;*.log;.DS_Store;*.lnk;*.url
Ignore hidden files matching pattern: desktop.ini;thumbs.db;*.jpg;.DS_Store;*.lnk;*.url

I use the move operation instead of the delete operation, I understand wrong.  :-[
Is it possible to add smart delete files while performing move operations?
