EDITED TO ADD: I've noticed it's only happening with my NTFS drives. I have an exFAT (SSD) portable drive and undo delete works fine with that.
I don't know if this is a bug or something wrong with my setup but I've recently migrated to the 64-bit version and undo delete doesn't work. It fails every time with an error message then, if I'm trying to restore a file, the file opens in the default system edit app - and if I'm trying to restore a folder, the folder opens in Windows Explorer.
Undo delete failed

The current v28.30.1600. I've also noticed it's only happening with my NTFS drives. I have an exFAT (SSD) portable drive and undo delete works fine with that.

One might have to be patient until Don is back on the forum.

Re: Undo delete failed
Ok, yes, I'm also using NTFS.
Another thing I didn't mention before: now also the "restore" option does not appear when using right click on the bin.
And what appears now is a "restore to previous version" which also doesn't work, anyway:
It must be said, it all works perfectly when using the Windows Explorer:

By the way: activating "native context menu" does not solve the problem, neither.

Re: Undo delete failed
Thanks. The comments seem to suggest the bug is specifically to do with Windows 11 but I'm on Windows 10.spinear wrote: ↑07 Aug 2026 01:23 This is a known issue and is associated with the following bug.
