Surely it has happened to you like many people, that every time you want to delete a file to free up space on your computer, a dialog box always appears asking you: “Are you sure you want to move this folder to the Trash of Recycling?” If you are one of those who do not want this type of message on their computer, you have come to the right place, you will learn how to deactivate the delete files message.
Why is it sometimes necessary to delete a file from our PC?
In order to have more space on our computer, sometimes we find ourselves having to delete files; be it photos, videos, documents or even folders that we no longer need or that we have moved to some other external hard drive where they are safe; and so that they do not occupy a space that we need on our computer or eliminate files that are duplicated.
When we press the right button of our mouse on the file that we want to delete, the dialog box appears where we choose Delete; the confirmation dialog box to delete the file appears automatically. Now, we want that when we do this process that picture does not appear.
We would like to remove or disable the confirmation message when deleting files, because this is annoying or a waste of time; since we are sure we want to delete this file. We must remember that this dialog serves as security for us when deleting a file. Therefore, the first thing is to make sure that the file we want to delete is the correct one.
How to disable the delete files prompt
The first thing we are going to do is locate on the desktop of our computer the icon of our Recycle Bin and press the right button of our mouse; When we carry out this step, a dialog box will appear where there is a list of options for our Recycle Bin.
Once this dialog box appears on our screen, we will proceed to select the Properties option. When we have selected the Properties option, a box will open that will show the properties of our Recycle Bin.
We will observe there that in the final part of the properties of our Recycle Bin there is a marked box; and next to it a legend that says: “Show dialog box to confirm deletion”; what we will do is remove this box.
Once we have carried out the previous step, we will press the Apply button and the changes we have made will be applied immediately; when we have finished making the changes to the properties, we will press the box where it says OK ; and ready.
We will have already configured our computer so that the dialog box does not appear when we delete a file.
When you have made these changes and proceed to delete a file, we remind you again to be sure to delete the correct file. If you have made a mistake when deleting a file, we can also help you recover what you have deleted.
