Deleted files don't go to the basket.

When I try to delete a file I always get the message "are you sure you want to permanently delete this file? The settings are correct on the trash.  How can I fix?

You can easily determine whether you have a sticky shift key by typing something in a text editor and see if everything comes out in capital letters.  Since your posts here don't seem to have this problem, it would seem that this is not your problem, even if it's a natural thing to suspect, unless your messages are of course coming from another PC.

Have you considered the possibility of having a virus or other malicious software?  I would try to ensure that my antivirus and Windows Defender program are updated, the boot in Safe Mode and the two of them to make a complete analysis of the system running.  If they don't resolve the problem, use system restore to return a day or two before the problem started?

  • Deleted files no longer go to the Recycle Bin. Windows asks if I want to permanently delete the files.

    Very strange situation with trash.

    Today it suddenly stopped, sending items, except those on the desktop into the trash and ask you if I'm sure I want to permanently delete the selected file. Do NOT for the files on the desktop, instead of this request if I don't know I want to recycle them.

    Recycle Bin settings are set to recycle, don't jump no trash and distribution, is set at 10 Gig of memory and bin is practically empty, if the space is not a problem. From this today and can not fix.

    Hi Lucien,.

    you have made any changes to your computer recently?

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Scan your computer anti-virus using the Microsoft Safety Scanner, then check if it helps.

    Microsoft safety scanner

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    Step 1: You can also try to create a new user and then check if it helps.

    Create a user account

    Step 2: If it works fine in the new account, then your account may be damaged.

  • deleted files are not going in the trash

    When I delete a file, it is removed immediately after a warning message. Deleting the file just put it in the trash. I reinstalled the OS X El Capitan, but which is not fixed. I cannot find any setting that would cause this to happen. Any ideas?

    Hi Holly:

    Try to open finder > finder Preferences > Advanced Tag and make sure "Show warning before emptying the trash" is checked.

    I also found this:

  • Deleted files do not appear in the Recycle Bin.

    I checked the settings of recycling bin, and they are not the problem. In addition, there are 70 GB of free space on the hard disk.

    If you have deleted files using SHIFT + DELETE then they bypass just trash, or when the size of the file that you delete is greater than the available space in the trash, then also the files are permanently deleted.

  • M4a and M4P files don't show in the Media Player library

    Original title: display music files m4p in medial Microsoft Reader library

    My Itunes Music Library contains 1400 songs, my Media Player library shows only 20% of people.  Seems that m4p and m4a files do not show in the Media Player library.

    WMP 11 is not supported with built-in support for M4P and M4A (MPEG-4 audio) files. For the support of library and the tag for the latter, you need to install the plug-in in WMP Tag Plus .

    Note that M4P files are protected against copying, if WMP will probably not be able to read them.

    Hello

    When Windows considers that a device is "Removable" there is no trash so
    be sure that you really want to remove anything from those.

    To see what readers will remove it from the trash - right click on the Recycle Bin on
    the office - properties.

  • When you delete files (in Windows 7) Explorer hangs on 'calculate' the size of the files to delete. This problem also occurs in Windows Vista (out and included SP1).

    When this problem happens:
    * You try to delete files, from any folder: a folder user protected (such as your desktop), a protected windows folder (such as program files) or an unprotected folder you created yourself (for example, a folder named "test" on your C permit)
    * The problem only occurs when you try to delete files using Windows Explorer. The problem only IS NOT OCCUR when you delete the files from another system using one hand (log on to another computer, open a shared folder, for example by opening \\windows7system\c$\test and try to remove this folder).

    What's happening:
    * Explorer crashes when 'Calculating' the features of folder.

    Question:
    * Why is this happening? It seems to be a problem in Explorer, not in the delete code actually (since the problem does not occur with one hand)

    I don't know the underlying cause or how to fix it. However, something like Unlocker would work.

  • Recover deleted files from external HDD in Windows 8

    I accidentally deleted files from my external hard drive using SHIFT + DELETE. I use Windows 8. Deleted files is not displayed in the trash. Is there a way I can recover these files?

    External drives do not place their deleted files in a basket, they are removed immediately and simply disappear.

    Keep off the drive and try these recovery software and the attempt to recover lost data.

    Data recovery.

    The first link is free, others are free to try before buy you.  The last two are a bit better in my opinion.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    You can check the settings of the trash to see if you have an option is selected.
    On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.
    Click the general tab,
    Check to see if "do not move files to the Recycle Bin" is selected. If it is enabled, then your files
    will be permanently deleted when deleting.

    Otherwise, you can try to see if a system restore will retrieve your documents folder.

  • Can't see the deleted files in several readers...

    In the Recycle bin that I am not files deleted from the c drive.

    I also have a D & E partition.

    If I delete a file on the c drive... I can see it in the trash.  However, if I delete a file in the drive D or E, although it is there I don't see.

    While in the trash, I click on cancel delete, the file goes back to it original, even if you do not see.  If I click on delete all files, it will say, for example, you want to remove all 20 files, while showing only say 3 coming from the C drive.

    No idea why the D & E deleted files will not show?

    Other readers recycling bins are in the hidden system folders (if you need to go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and check the option Show hidden files and also check the option to display system files). Once exposed, you will be able to see the separate baskets.  This is the case for Vista - I "m not sure how it works in Windows 7.
