Feature request, please add a confirmation for deleting files

Post by abr01 »

As i found, deleting files from the findigs list is possible by just pressing delete, no warning. This is very risky. Please an an yes/no option to confirm the action.

Not confirmed.
For me there comes the Windows dialog to ask for confirmation.
I guess you have switched it off.

To enable the delete confirmation dialog (In Everything and Windows Explorer):
  • From the Desktop, right click your Recycle bin folder and click Properties.
  • Check Display delete confirmation dialog.
  • Click OK.

Thanks, void.

I had the trash can hidden, but turned it back on temporarily to change the setting. It all works now.
