The confirmation dialog box that pops up when you want to delete a file or folder is meant to prevent accidental deletion of data.
However, when you delete a file in Windows you won’t be prompted with a delete confirmation dialog box. Because this property in Windows 10 Windows 11 and Wİndows 8 disable it by default. You press the “Delete” key, the selected file or folder is automatically deleted and moved to Recycle Bin without any confirmation prompt. It can be a great thing in some situations, and very annoying in others. If you wish you can enable the Delete Confirmation Box. To enable the delete confirmation box in Windows 11/ 10 or Windows 8, follow the steps given below.
Enable or Disable Delete Confirmation Dialog Box in Windows
1- Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on Windows 10 desktop and then select Properties.
2- Now enable “Display delete confirmation dialog” option and apply the changes. From now on, Windows 10 will display a confirmation dialog when you try to delete an item to Recycle Bin.
That’s all.
