    Hi, I'm Anvar, I'd be glad to help you today on this

    First of all, right-click on the Recycle bin icon on the desktop. Then, from the right-click menu, click on the Properties.

    On the Recycle Bin Properties, enable the Display delete confirmation dialog check box. Once done, click on the Apply button then on Ok.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, that works.

    I was looking for it in the obvious place File Explorer where the action happens.

    Why is this option not set on as default, it's a no brainer!
