I recently installed OSX Mountain Lion on my iMac, although the problem suddenly appeared when I was on Lion.
When I place files and folders in the trash basket a window opens asking for my password before I can move the items to trash. But when I click OK, the items delete without any warning.
This happens only with stuff that is on my iMac hard drive and not with items that are being placed in trash from external drives.
As I want items to be kept in the trash basket until I decide to delete (empty the basket), is there any way I can overcome this irritating behaviour, please.
