  3. How do I make my backspace key delete folders in file explorer?

    My entire life, I have used backspace to delete pictures, folders, and other files from my desktop and while in file explorer. Suddenly, backspace now functions as a navigation arrow, and instead of deleting, I am going into the containing folder for the files I am attempting to delete. How do I fix the backspace key?

  4. Backspace = delete file/folder. but it dosnt do that.

    Backspace navigates instead of deleting files

    I am getting very frustrated by this, but I can't find any settings that seem to be responsible.

    When I am looking in a folder and try to delete a file, I select the file and press "backspace" but instead of deleting the file I navigate to the folder above the one I'm in.

    How do I change it so that backspace actually deletes the file, like how it works on every windows computer I've used for the last twenty years?
