I use Lightroom Classic CC latest iteration and Mac Mini late 2012 (macOS High Sierra). For some reason just recently, and unclear to me, when I delete files from within Lightroom they are not moved to Trash bin but rather immediately and fully deleted. Has anyone encountered similar issue?

The images are on an external hard drive. I don't get the dialog box giving the choice to remove from the catalog only or delete from the disk, which under normal operation should appear.

From what drive are you deleting the files from and how is that drive formatted?

Did you recently update to Mojave 10.14.4? A little bit of research mentions making changes via the terminal to stop the thrash from being deleted immediately. Firstly you may want to check that Show warning before emptying the Trash is on.

I'm on the latest OS, I can delete (without warning) and the documents end up in the trash as expected. The check boxes above are about warnings, but I don't believe they have anything to do with automatically deleting. That said, I only have the 2nd warning checkbox on.

If you turn onb Show warning before deleting Trash turned on will images still be emptied from the trash without warning?
