Incidentally deleted files by pressing Del + Enter on the numpad because this two keys are very close together.
Was not able to recover.

Would be great if there was option to set delete dialog answer to "No" by default to avoid this situation in the future.
Perhaps only set to "No" if numpad's Del button is pressed if that key can be detected vs regular del button.

Option to disable only numpad's Del button entirely would also be great.

2 existing options (enabled by default) are more than enough:
- Confirm file delete
- Use Recycle bin

That is the original problem finger misses numpad enter and and lands in between Del and Enter then this instantly delete selected files.

P.S. i have not been using recycle bin ever since i started with computers 20+ years ago.
