Two new options in Overwrite dialog

Suppose you have a directory (target) with a huge amount of files. In source path you have some large file, and you want to move (e.g. backup) it to target. After the confirmation windows appears, you remember that you have already backed this file up several weeks ago. So, you decide to keep the target dir file, and delete the source one.
What to do now? Evident: cancel, delete source file, answer "Yes". Best option is not really the best because you have to hit three buttons.
Worse option: move (overwrite) source file. Why worse? Because you perform a move operation with no sense: replace something with exactly the same, and moreover if the file is really large, this action can take a lot of time.
I suggest to put two new options in "More Options >>" menu:
Delete Source
Delete Target
(Perhaps if there are many files, these both options should be "Detete All...")
