Deleting a folder: getting double delete confirmation

[mitjap]

Hi,

I am using Windows 10 with option:
F8/Del deletes to recycle bin

Why am I getting double confirmation to delete a folder? First there is a Total commander warning that a folder is not empty and then a recycle bin question. I would really prefer the old way of only one confirmation when deleting a folder.

You should get only one. Apparently Windows is reporting wrong state of the delete confirmation checkbox in recycle bin.

Please try this:
1. Right click on F8 Delete button
2. Choose "Properties"
3. Disable delete confirmation
4. Click OK
5. Open properties again
6. Re-enabled delete confirmation
7. Restart Total Commander

I forgot to mention what I am using:
Total Commander 8.52a (x64) on Windows 10

I tried the steps you mentioned but it did not help. Maybe I should mention that this only happens for a folder. Files work as expected (they display only native recycle bin confirmation dialog).

Is there an option to turn off native dialogs and use just Total commander dialogs?

Maybe you mean the dialog that the folder isn't empty? This is an additional warning so you don't delete a folder by mistake.

No, I mean to show the dialog that the folder isn't empty but delete without showing the Windows native recycle bin warning.

Are you using the ShellApi? As far as I know using flags like this should prevent any dialog from showing:
FOF_SILENT | FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_NOERRORUI | FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR

Unfortunately these turn off ALL the Windows dialogs, also those for which there is no alternative in code (no callback from Windows to handle it).
