    Version 1903 (OS build 18362.535)
    How do I enable "confirm delete" in File Explorer? I already have it enabled in the Recycle Bin, but prefer to have it enabled in File Explorer. Thanks.

    Windows 10 - How to Enable Windows Explorer File Deletion Confirmation

    Hi, ok well I figured it out but I don't know why it does this. When you delete something from OneDrive using Windows Explorer you do NOT get the delete confirmation box, but if you delete a file on your local C: you do. I wonder if there's a way to turn
    that option on for OneDrive?

  3. Windows 10 - How to Enable Windows Explorer File Deletion Confirmation

    Hi,

    By default, Windows 10 doesn't show a delete confirmation dialog box. However, you can still get the same confirmation box using
    Shift + Delete hotkey. If you wish to enable the delete confirmation box, follow these steps:

    • On your Windows 10 desktop, right-click on Recycle Bin, and then select
      Properties.
    • Under General tab, check the option named Display delete confirmation dialog.
    • Click on the Apply button before closing the dialog box.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Windows 10 - How to Enable Windows Explorer File Deletion Confirmation

    Hi, when I delete a file on my desktop I'm presented with the delete confirmation dialog box. The proper option is also selected in the Recycle Bin. However, when I'm in Windows Explorer and I delete a file/folder, it is immediately sent to the Recycle
    Bin with no confirmation. I'm so confused...how do I enable that?
