Which one is correct? Also, shall I use "deletion" or "deleting" in this type of construction? Thanks.

	CalifJim  +  211571 Sat, 01 Apr 06 08:28 AM We send you the notice ten days before deleting the file.  (Present habitual practice) We sent you the notice ten days before deleting the file.  (Past action.) We will send you the notice ten days before deleting the file.  (Future action.) You may substitute before we delete the file for before deleting the file, but don't use the deleting of the file!

I'd use "deletion" in both. milky Joined on Thu, Jan 15 2004 Senior Member 3,149 Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".
