"Unfortunately, Filelight doesn't offer the ability to delete files."
Using Filelight-0.6.4 I found the Delete option very useful:
Use right-mouse-click on a file to get the Delete option. Use right-mouse-click on a directory to get the Recursive Delete option.

The functionality for Undelete is not present in many filesystems (and/or their common installation) used on Linux. The combination of {GUI + Delete + no Undelete} is particularly dangerous, and there are vehement arguments about how to handle it. In practice, as few as one or two mistakes per year is enough to dissuade many users.
