Thank you for the report!

IIUC, this is working as intended.
We select a file after deletion to make it easier to remove files repeatedly using keyborad keys (UP, DOWN, SHIFT, and DELETE).
MacOS Finder and Ubuntu file manager have the same behavior (I haven't checked the Windows file explorer, though)

Weifang, please reopen this bug if we should implement different behavior.

How often do we need to remove files repeatedly? For the most times it's simply removing some files and that's all. And every time we need to clear selection after removing. This logic looks oddly to say at least. I'm really not pushing my opinion, but could you please reconsider such behavior? Thanks!

Though we usually don't need the item to be focused, Keyboard accessibility and consistency with other OSs are also important.
That said, maybe we should leave the check-select mode (the mode which has the white toolbar) after deletion.
