Wouldn't it be possible to make a "du -s *.del" or so on the 
directories namend ".del" ? 

Or move all directories/files to be deleted to a "del" directory
to avoid a lengthly "find" instead of renaming each single file?

That would allow to view trash can contents too and to implement
-someday- an easy an fast "undelete" too.

The free disc estimate would be a single "du -s /video/del"
to add the "real" volume.
