[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1816894, member: 83420"] Firstly, sorry to hear you have had problems logging in and having to create a new account. Maybe our Admins could help you with this? I can't speak for macOS Mojave; and maybe you'll think my following comments irrelevant, but is it not the case that putting something in Trash indicates an intention to delete them? Of course anyone can make a mistake and it is easy to enter Trash and by Right Clicking on the File, have it Put Back from where it came. When it comes to Locked Files, you get a clear warning that you are preparing to delete something that was presumably locked for good reason. As Trash is not somewhere to store Files, if you proceed to Trash despite the warning, then I would assume that you have considered the matter and made the decision to delete. Does one need a further reminder when you go to empty Trash? I know that's what you wish, but it would seem that this doesn't exist. I think the operator has to take some responsibility for their decision, having been give one warning. I mean no offence at all, but my researches so far have not come up with a second warning.
