Lightroom Classic does not delete RAW files from hard disk

Recently I culled a huge library of photos and did my standard "Delete Rejected Photos" under the "Photo" options menu. It got rid of the rejects from the library, but didn't delete them off my portable drive like previous versions did. Is this a new bug?

Now I have over a thousand photos that I would need to sort through on my drive to manually delete.

I have a more recent version on my Laptop of LRC, and an older one on my PC. The PC deletes the files properly as originally described.

Any help would be great!

I recently reinstalled LrC on my laptop. It's the latest version, and lo and behold, it asks to truly delete the files. So I'm not sure if it's a bug in the version I had back in June.

A workaround I figured out though was anything I flagged for deletion, I simply ran an attribute filter to seek out anything with the "X" Flag. From there, I selected those photos and renamed the files with the word "DELETE" in the beginning so they would be easily found in the explorer window in my folders. It's an annoying extra step, but it's the quickest way to manually delete files from the hard drive.
