deleting files

when deleting stuff from my desktop for some reason i am now getting a popup asking me are you sure you want to delete? i checked the recycle bin properties and display delete confirmation is not checked. any ideas why my computer is acting up or how to fix it?

If you have Pro there's also a group policy option:

Please post a screenshot of the exact message. How are you deleting? delete key? SHIFT delete? Rt click, delete?

Compare those shown here:
Turn On or Off Recycle Bin Delete Confirmation in Windows 10

Did you restart after applying the edit?

yes. i attached screenshots of of my recycle bin group policy and registry.

another fun problem, after changing the group policy and registry it's deleting files permanently instead of sending them to the recycle bin. i changed group policy back to not configured and deleted the registry edit i created but it still doesn't send files to the recycle bin.

i found a cmd command that says it will reset the recycle bin but that doesn't work either i get a message the system can not find the file specified.

rd /s /q C:$Recycle.bin

Thank you for your reply.


Notice the message says 'permanently'. This is abnormal. Consider the possibility that the recycle bin is already full.

right click delete. i tried the group policy and the registry edit. i still get the delete confirmation message.

This happens when you hold Shift + Delete or Shift + Right click Delete. Could be as simple as a stuck Shift Key. Just my two cents.

You have to change it to "Don`t move files to the recycle bin"

You have to apply it to C and D.

Sometimes you will still get the message when deleting items from other drives or partitions, you have to set them the same way.
