how do I set up a warning tab when i delete files etc so I dont delete them by accident

Hi Dean Anscombe,

The simple way is that you can turn on delete warnings by right-clicking the Recycle Bin, opening Properties, and enabling “Display delete confirmation dialog.” After that, Windows will always ask for confirmation before sending a file to the Recycle Bin. For added protection against permanent deletions (like using Shift + Delete), you can rely on File History or OneDrive versioning to restore files. Also make sure the Recycle Bin isn’t set to “Don’t move files to the Recycle Bin,” which would skip recovery options.
