In Windows 10, when a user deletes a file or folder, no immediate confirmation of the deletion is displayed on the screen. Deleted files end up in the Recycle Bin without any further ado. If you are not happy with this behavior, you can change it.
Some users prefer this default behavior of Windows 10.They want their files to be deleted as quickly as possible. They don't want to see any confirmation dialog boxes because even if they delete something by mistake, they can always open the Recycle Bin folder and restore the files. Especially those who delete a lot of temporary files all the time, the constant confirmations are annoying.
But other users prefer to see a confirmation. They consider it a safe option to be able to examine what is about to be deleted, because the Delete key can be pressed accidentally. Sometimes, new users may not even realize that an item was deleted, even by mistake. A company's IT, fearing this inexperience, usually prefers the behavior of Windows 7, rather than Windows 10.
Keep in mind that Windows 10 gives you the right to choose how to behave on this issue. All you have to do is do the following:
1. Find the Recycle Bin icon in File Explorer or on your desktop.
2. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon and select Properties from the context menu to open the Recycle Bin properties window.
3. On the General tab, look for the option “Show a window to confirm deletion.” Select the check box, and then click the Apply button to make the changes.
This will make Windows 10 display the confirmation dialog when you delete a file or folder with File Explorer.
