Disable unwanted warning when deleting items

In the Windows 10 Recycle Bin properties, both options to warn against mistaken deletion, have been unticked.

Yet despite this, every time I drag/drop a file/folder on the desktop to the recycle bin … an unwanted warning comes up saying this item may be a danger to the OS.

If I right click the item, and select delete, it goes straight to the recycle bin without any warning.

I have run sfc, and turned off UAC, as well as various options in Security Policy related to UAC. And all to no avail.

Google research has many posts on this issue, but no simple solution other than editing the register.

Has anyone got a simply solution to this problem?

This is a copy of the warning:



This warning appears, if for example I drag/drop a folder to the recycle bin.

If I click "OK", it deletes it to the recycle bin.

If I right click the folder, and click "Delete" in the drop down menu, it does not appear.

No they are not downloaded files, and not blocked. It occurs for any file/folder on my desktop.

For example, if I create a new folder on the desktop by right clicking on a blank space on the desktop, and selecting: "New > Folder".

And then drag/drop it to the recycle bin. The warning appears.

I found many posts on Google addressing the problem. But the only suggested solution was to change a registry item.

I was hoping for a more simple way to stop it.

I know the following is of no use whatsoever, but ...

In the past (maybe back on Win7) I would see this popup when doing just about anything with files on an unmapped NAS drive. Windows seemed to think that anything accessed by a UNC path (rather than a drive letter) was from the internet and therefore suspect. And I vaguely recall that the "unclean" attribute stuck with the file when copied to a local drive.

Maybe you've managed to attach that attribute to everything on your desktop. (That is a feeble guess based on ignorance.)

I haven't seen that for years so it either (usually) does not happen on Win10 or I found some option to eliminate the warning.

That warning appears if any file is marked as having come from another computer. Such files are marked as 'Blocked' in their properties Typically files downloaded from the internet are blocked. They can easily be unblocked.
