Trash has become a BLACK HOLE - files automatically deleted
For years I have used the shortcut ctrl+delete to throw stuff in the trash. Last weekend I used the same shortcut and a warning message popped up "This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action."
I thought that was weird and just deleted them. Then later on I realized I needed some of the files. i clicked on my trash and it was completely empty. Now when I drag a file to the trash, I get the same warning and the files are permanently deleted.
What's going on?
