How do I modify/change the options in a right click drop down menu for Quick Time?

I right hand click a meeting I just screen recorded on a Mac mini. The icon appears on the desktop. can I modify the menu to remove "delete" as an option so I never delete another screen recording that easily again? My mouse moved a tad far and I clicked a tad fast. On the wrong option!!

Mac mini, macOS 15.6

On my Mac the contextual menu says “Move to Trash”, which can be undone manually by opening the Trash icon, and dragging the item back. No file** is deleted until you also empty the Trash. You can alternatively do ⌘Z in Finder to undo the last move action.


There is no built-in configuration to edit (remove) options from the contextual menu. There are however possible ‘Extensions’ to add options to the contextual menu or a submenu of that.


**There are tools that make it possible to immediately delete a file, but that is quite different from what you described as an accidental move action.
