    Local $GUI = GUICreate("Delete Files",300,300,-1,-1,0x16C80000,0x00000181)
    Local $LIST = GUICtrlCreateListView("File",5,5,290,250,0x00200000,BitOR(0x00000004,0x00000200))
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($LIST,0,280)
    For $INDEX = 1 To $FILE[0]
        $ITEM = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($FILE[$INDEX],$LIST)
    Next
    $DEL = GUICtrlCreateButton("Delete",100,270,100,20)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$GUI)
    While True
        $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
        If $MSG = -3 Then

            For $INDEX = 1 To $FILE[0]
                If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($LIST,$INDEX-1) Then
                    FileDelete($DIR & "\" & $FILE[$INDEX])
                EndIf
            Next
