It might help to show a screenshot - I'm not seeing the second "popup" either.

The Pop-Up "Delete Permanently?" only appears if the file cannot be moved to the Recycle Bin because the volume on which the photos are stored does not support the Recycle Bin. The dialog exactly says:
"1 of these files could not be moved to the Recycle Bin." and "The files are on a volume that does not support the Recycle Bin. Would you like to permanently delete them?". Two buttons are offered: "Cancel" and "Permanently Delete Files". If I press ESC in this dialog, the file is deleted (and of course is not moved to the recycle bin).

I cannot duplicate this.

In your Step Three you mention a Pop-Up that I never see. Is this a Lightroom dialog The only Confirmation Popup I see is in Step Two. Either I am misinterpreting your instructions or we are seeing two completely different behaviors.

In any case the images are not permanently deleted but rather end up in Recycling.
