Is there any software or a trick like some storage given for shift delete files so when ever we shift delete it will go to that storage instead permanantly deleting the file. Yeah .. just like normal delete and its goes to recycle.. The problem with me is i am addicted to shift delete and some time i regret when i delete files :??:

Thanks in advance

Yes and No to permanently deleted files never to be seen in Windows Recycle Bin
Resplendence's Undeluxe and R-Studio's R-Undelete, in their own respective ways, track all deletions. If swiftly enacted, such can easily recover files that have not been partially or wholey overwritten. The key here: swift realization and swfit action by the end-user.
Again, as we previously mentioned, having current, restorable, backups is a must for any major recovery operation.

If I understand the situation correctly, go forward, I highly recommend either:
-- Resplendence's Undeluxe; or
-- R-Studio's R-Undelete
AND,
I hope you have been making and will continue to make routine backups onto external media.
Be forewarned! The sooner you realize a delete mistake, the sooner you activate either one of the above, the better the recovery chances.

Shift + Delete is the key combo to permanently delete and bypass the recycle bin, so the answer is sorry no. You can use recuva from piriform to recover the deleted files, or you can create backups and use previous version to restore from.

The "trick" is to train your brain to not do that.

The other trick is to have a repeatable, recoverable, automated, backup scenario.
