Emacs dirtree, How to delete files and refresh

I am using dirtree in emacs. The problem is that when I add new files it never refreshes its structure. Also, coming from a Visual studio background it would be nice to be able to delete files directly out of the tree, is this possible? (I mean I know with emacs all things are possible, but was wondering if someone has solved this problem already).

You can refresh the tree by pressing g. This refreshes the tree you're currently in (not the whole tree, though!).

Unfortunately, you can't delete a single file or directory except for the root node (which is really stupid). To delete the root node, type D and confirm.

if you want to refresh just kill buffer of dirtree, and open dirtree again. C-x k ---- kill buffer M-x dirtree RET
