PM Not Actually Deleting Tagged Files
« on: Today at 09:24:07 AM »
I am running 2025.6, Build 8622 (d8fe3d8) on a Windows 11 ARM Surface Pro 11.

I was culling photos this morning with the newly downloaded update.  I tagged photos, then selected them, then deleted the selected photos.  While I remain within PM, everything looks good - the deleted photos appear to be gone, and the remaining photos remain in the folder as they should be.

However, when I open File Explorer to view the files, ALL files appear, and nothing has been deleted.

When I re-open PM, ALL files remain, and the tagged files are still tagged and there - not deleted.  Although PM asks if it is OK to send these files to the Recycle Bin, they do not appear there when I open the Recycle Bin.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

What kind of drive are the files stored?
