Remove book - permanently

Just noticed that the "calibredb Remove" command has a "--permanent" option which equates to "Do not use the Recycle Bin". AFAIK there's no 'easy' way to do this in the Windows version of the Library Manager, so I do it the 'hard' way:
  • press 'O' (to open the book folder);
  • press 'Backspace', (to go up the folder tree);
  • press 'Shift+Del' (to delete the book folder - permanently);
  • press 'Enter' to the Windows confirm (this gets rid of the book folder);
  • press 'Alt+F4' (to get back to calibre);
  • press 'Shift+Del' (my customisation of Remove book kb/short);
  • press 'Enter' to the calibre confirm (this gets rid of the book in the database).

Assuming there's not an easier way, would it possible to have a "Remove Permanently" Tweak that defaulted to 'False'. I'm asking here rather than launchpad, in case I've missed the obvious.

BR
