For the sake of convenience, Microsoft has removed some of the notification dialogs on Windows 10, including a confirmation dialog when deleting files. However, this is not necessarily convenient, especially for those who careless and erroneously delete important files...
With previous versions of
Windows product key, whenever you delete a file, a dialog box will pop up asking if you really want to delete this file, click "Yes" to confirm and click " No "to cancel the file shuffle. So if you just accidentally choose to delete the file then just cancel the delete command.
However, since
Windows 8 product key and later versions (now Windows 10), this familiar and equally important dialog has been removed. With these versions of Windows, when deleted files or folders, the deleted data will immediately move to the Windows recycle bin without asking whether the user really want to delete the file / folder or not.
This is convenient for users who do not have to deal with too many things, but they also cause many inconveniences, especially for those who sometimes unintentionally delete important files, and then clean up the recycle bin. Check the trash can contain any data. This will cause you to lose important data.
To avoid this situation, you can restore the confirmation dialog that appears when deleting the file to ensure thorough inspection before deleting. To do this, you can proceed as follows:
- First, right-click the Recycle Bin icon, select Properties.
- From the dialog box that appears, check the "Display Delete Confirmation Dialog" option.
- Click OK to save the setting. Now, every time you delete a file from
Windows 10 product key, the file deletion dialog is displayed like previous versions of Windows, allowing you to confirm whether you really want to delete this file or just accidentally click wrong delete button file.
