Just curious why JRiver never actually sends files to the Recycle Bin....noticed this for some time now, like years.

When you delete a file, one of the choices is "Remove from Media Library and send to the Recycle Bin".

Yes, it has never worked for me.

Agreed but I haven't seen this come up for TV recordings from the Television page (via the left hand side pane in Standard View). Whereas if you delete a TV Show via Video > Shows (via the left hand side pane in Standard View), then you're presented with the delete options dialogue box. This inconsistent behaviour has caught me out before.

If the files reside on a non-Windows based system, such as a Linux-running NAS, the recycle bin option will permanently delete the files, since the NAS will not have a recycle bin that MC understands. Are your files locally stored?

Thanks, mainly all files on Synology NAS but I do have some large internals and my OS SSD. Will remote to home and test now.

Network drives never have a Recycle Bin, even when accessed through Windows Explorer.

Too bad.

Another thing to check if you're seeing this with local drives is the maximum allowed size for your recycle bin.
I seem to recall that the file would just be deleted without a prompt if it was over that size.

Windows itself typically prompts. I don't know if MC does, but yes, you can disable Recycle Bin support or alter the maximum size (typically 10% of the volume size) as well:
