Disable Delete Confirmation Dialog

January 12, 2008

Usually when you want to delete a file, Windows will ask you “Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin?”. If you are conducting a cleanup of your files in a large quantity you may want to turn this off temporarily so you are not prompted every single time.

Note: It is recommended that you typically leave this option ON to prevent you deleting files by accident.
