No ‘Delete Confirmation Dialog’ In Windows 8 ?

In Windows 8, with additions like Metro based panels, Start Menu, and Ribbon Explorer, many Windows 8 UI elements have been revamped. You may notice that Windows 8 no longer asks you to confirm the deletion of file and folder, and that when you select a file/folder and hit Delete key, it sends the respective item straight to Recycle Bin without confirming the action.

FIX: First off, right-click Recycle Bin and select Properties. You can also access Recycle Bin Properties from within the Recycle Bin from Recycle Bin Manage tab.
