Using Wox and Everything, if I search for a file in Wox and right-click on it, there are options for Copy, Copy Path, Delete, Set as topmost in this query, and more that dynamically display. When I click Delete, the item completely disappears from the list but I can't determine where it goes. It is not showing up in my Recycle Bin, nor is there any functionality I can find in Wox or Everything to salvage the file.

For context, I selected DELETE by mistake when I was trying to set an item as the topmost in a specific query. It was an important .docx file and I have no idea where it has been relocated. I've looked through the Wiki and searched Google extensively, but I can't seem to find any helpful resources.

Would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you!

Sorry to hear that. We use this method to delete files, which seems not to recycle bin, it just deleted.

Ouch...I'm sure I can find a backup somewhere of the original file.

Any way to convert this to a request to either add a prompt to confirm the deletion, or allow the removal of the DELETE option altogether from the list of options?

Good suggestion, I would change the delete to delete to recycle bin to make sure users can find these files in the recycle bin if they regret it.

Awesome, thank you for being so responsive. Will carefully avoid that button until V2 is released
