That's not a tweak but a normal gui config option

Oh, I see. I hunted down this setting by copying parts of my XYplorer.ini into a fresh ini, and mistakenly associated "WatchDuringFileOp" with the adjacent "WatchIt" ("; Tweak: |-separated list of locations to watch ...").
In that case, fixing deleted folders not getting removed from the view might be a real issue. I remember that we discussed this over a year ago in
viewtopic.php?t=27337&hilit=Refresh+dur ... s&start=70. File system notifications cause XYplorer to become unresponsive on network drives for a short while. Donald introduced a tweak "SHChangeNotifyExcludeNetwork" to exclude network drives from file system notifications. It turns out that an unexpected side effect is that XYplorer doesn't realise that it deleted the currently viewed folder.

Cannot reproduce (with a fresh installation). The deleted folder is correctly removed from the tree and XY jumps to the parent as new current location.

Did you do a "shift + del"? I tried it again and I got the result shown in "shift-delete.gif".
1) Make a new folder on a mapped network drive in XYplorer (fresh v27.90.0012 with default settings).
2) Enter the folder.
3) Shift-delete the folder in Windows Explorer.
=> The folder remains visible in XYplorer
When I right-click the (deleted) folder in the tree, I get no context menu.
When I click on the (deleted) folder in the breadcrumb bar, XYplorer becomes unresponsive for a few seconds.
When I navigate to the root, the (deleted) folder is not shown in the file pane. But it is still there in the tree, and I can navigate back to it (via the tree view or the breadcrumb bar). Doing so, the file pane shows error "The system cannot find the path specified".

Tried it in Win8.1 and Win11. Maybe it's a Win10 thing.

The Windows notification system is known to be somewhat erratic. Tried a reboot already?
