Vscode: Windows 10: Deleting always fails with error message

[apalchys]

• VSCode Version: 0.10.11
• OS Version: Windows 10 x64
  NOTE: Recycle bin is disabled.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try to delete any file in VS Explorer
2. Get "Failed to move {filename} to the trash"
3. Hitting "Delete Permanently" does nothing.

Also it was reproducible with previous versions.

@apalchys there can be many reasons why moving to trash does not work (e.g. you are on a SUBST drive, or mounted network). The bug that deleting permanently fails is fixed for our current release. You can try it from our insiders release: http://code.visualstudio.com/Download#insiders

@bpasero Confirm. it is fixed in 0.10.13-insider. Thanks.

I always use VS Code in a Linux VM (in VirtualBox) against a shared folder that's mounted under /media/. VS Code's Delete command always prompts for whether I want to Move To Trash, but then it always fails to move it to the trash presumably because the file was on a mounted folder/drive. So then I have to click the Delete Permanently option. It sure would be nice if VS Code was smart enough to detect that the file was on a mounted folder/drive and just prompt for "Delete Permanently" instead of "Move To Trash". It would save me a click every time I delete a file, which has happened a lot lately.

Is it possible to turn off the trash feature and always force delete file?
Same story on Windows 10.0.143.93
Very annoying.

The problem still exists.
Version 1.15.1

I am facing the same issue. I cannot rename or delete folder. Vs code blocking this operation by itself. Only closing vs code helps. Also i have tried running app as administrator - no luck

IMHO VS Code should warn by default when it cannot move a file to recycle bin. But there should be an option to override this warning - perhaps even per workspace; so it gets less annoying for those Users that know what they do.
