SUMMARY
I would like to delete files to trash, which is much more safe, if for some reason I need to restore a file. But "Move to Trash" looks like not working in Dolphin 23.08 on Windows 10.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Click on file and right mouse click and select "Move to Trash".

OBSERVED RESULT
File disappears from the list and it looks like it was moved to trash, but press "F5" key and the file is listed again. It was not moved to trash. The same issue appears if using "Delete" keyboard shortcut.

EXPECTED RESULT
File should get moved to Trash.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Deleting files with pressing Shift+Delete opens window "Delete Permanently" and clicking on "Delete Permanently" button it does delete the file. But this is not moving file to trash, but deleting file without moving to trash. This is useful and nice it is working, but I need this very rarely.

Can Priority of this bug be increased? This is very annoying but, I can't delete files in Dolphin and I constantly need to open Windows's File Explorer to delete files.

If you launch dolphin from the command line do you get some output in the terminal when you try to move a file to trash ?

I don't expect it will.

Code need fixing just to have this.
