Actually what happens, When ever i open any file or folder it automatically asks for deletion of files or folder automatically.
I dont want to delete any file or folder bu the system asks repeatedly itself.

Please provide a solution stating that the automatically selection of files /folder for deletion should be prevented.

Thanks

i use laptop in that laptop am facing this issue,
let me explain in brief the issue:
basically what happens whenever i open any folder or file the system automatically select that file or folder for deletion,but i dont want that file or folder to be deleted.the system selects itself .
even if i select my computer icon to open ,system asks do you want to delete my computer and send it to recycle bin. it happens for every file ,folder even for my desktop icons also.
hope now it may be clear.

I am also facing the same issue.
I tried to check whether it is because of delete button getting stuck... for doing so, i created a new file and kept waiting for the responce.. nothing happened. then i selected a folder where there are multiple jpg files. i played the slideshow and waited for something of this sort happen. when it passed 6-7 images, it prompted me to confirm deletion... so definitely it is not the keyboard... looks like some virus?

I had the same issue with my laptop, when i was having the issue i tried running a malware scan, reinstall my OS, even tried different OS but still the same issue occur. Normally if you are having that issue when you open a text file it will automatically delete the content of it.
So, basically its a keyboard issue, somehow the delete button is stuck.

actually it is due the keypad, the delete button is on due rough usage , so change the keypad..

to check 1st remove the keypad and check using virtual keypad and than change new keypad

i think it will be useful

Do not uncheck delete confirmation dialogue. Makes the problem worse! Since now the file sor folder will get deleted without even being asked!!
I have the same problem, trying to fix it.
Its not a virus since I restored my system to a time when I had no problem so must be the Delete button.
