When there is an error while compressing, original files should not be sent to the Bin #885

I encountered a disk full error when compressing some folders, with the option to move the original files to the Bin after compression. This option should only be honored on successful compression, to avoid data loss and an easier retry.

One could argue that the files in the Bin are not lost and the can be recovered easily, but that is not entirely true: there may be many similarly named files in the bin and finding the correct ones may prove complicated. Also, one of the first things one can do irreflexively (meaning, I did it) is to empty the Bin, to gain disk space. Doing this ensures there's no trace of the original source files to retry compression after gaining some disk space
