Loading Spinner should be added into icloud.com when a user is deleting something.

After deleting files/folders in iCloud Drive, they appear to be removed on the front end, but they keep coming back when you refresh the page.

It seems like the moveItemToTrash/deleteItems post requests take a long time, resulting in a 'pending' state. However, there is no loading sign whatsoever, making the user think that they are deleted since the items are no longer visible, but it is still processing the request.

So when the user refreshes the page before getting a response, it apparently cancels the whole request, rendering the deletion feature useless.

Please consider putting a loading sign or making the deletion actually usable.
