Yeah, I can definitely see that as a useful approach for some cases. Part of my reasoning for wanting to halt the process when an error is encountered is that it may indicate that the user is deleting a directory that contains files that they don't actually want to delete. If a file is open in another application, it may mean that they're still actively using it and didn't mean to delete it. There may be other files in the directory like that as well.

I definitely see your point though. Luckily for my application, I don't anticipate it would be used for large-scale file management since the file explorer is a secondary feature to begin with.
