Emby Expiry Manager : Schedule library items for automatic deletion. Pick any movie, series, season, or individual episode, set a date/time, and a background scheduler removes it automatically at your chosen interval.

Two removal modes are supported: delete from disk, which removes the item and its files permanently, and library only, which removes it from Emby while keeping the files. For library-only removals, the item is moved into a _deleted folder placed automatically inside the same library creating .embyignore file inside so Emby's scanner never recreates an empty shell for it. 

Shows badge and gives warning before the item leaves emby library (requires plugin emby new overlay v1.3.2.0 which is available in the forum page plugin/new badge overlay plugin)

If you are planning to delete an item from library while keeping the file don't forget to toggle on the emby ignore settings under the library settings. Be cautious when checking "Also delete from my disk", you may lose your media permanently.... as to my experience i Used windows and it puts them in recycle bin, however I can not guarantee same will happen to you. Also I haven't test it in other OS... so it is completely upto you how you use this plugin. Test the plugin and let me know if there are issues on it
