file explorer confirms deleting items located in recycle bin before deleting them permanently. I wish XY does so too

Can't confirm: with Tools > Configuration > Undo & Action Log > Prompt before delete, enabled, XYplorer asks for confirmation before deleting a file from the Recycle Bin?

XYplorer 21.70 / Windows 10 20H2.

A Windows setting controls this, right click on Recycle Bin (in the tree, or on your desktop) and go to Properties, the setting is in that dialog.

XY behaves differently from Windows Explorer.
in XY Recycle Bin :
- right click on item then delete, you get a confirmation.
- delete an item with delete key or delete button, you get no confirmation
in Windows Explorer Recycle Bin:
you always get confirmation, Whether the option to confirm deletion is activated or not

another suggestion:
the suppress deletion option is good if you just want to send files to recycle bin but if delete is permanent XY should confirm it.
XYplorer should follow Windows standards

I don't know why it doesn't work for you but I get a confirmation in XY using the delete key and the delete button.
