For what it's worth, for me personally the appeal of this function is not about how long it takes to empty the import folder, it's about the reassurance that Evernote has actually seen and imported a given file before it's deleted. I worry that if the sync got interrupted or that somehow a file has been missed, and I then go and empty my import folder I might not realize until weeks or months later that I've lost that file. That's probably just me being paranoid about the reliability of the import function, but it wouldn't be the first time I've expected to find something in Evernote, only to realize it's missing. So, Evernote deleting a file after it's been synced just gives me more peace of mind than if I delete the files myself, assuming they've been synced (and not wanting to cross-reference each one to make sure it's been imported).

Just asked a question, since it was listed as coming soon and now has disappeared. Sorry I caused you such frustration.

I've also been looking forward to this function but I see that in the latest update, the "coming soon" is no longer there, nor is there an option to remove the source file. Maybe they've decided not to implement the function after all?

I have the same issue and have had it for quite a while - I can't switch from one note to the next on Evernote Web. The first note I select usually freezes it, and even if I click on other notes in the notebook, it stays on the first one I selected.
