Environment

Release : 18.1

Component : EXPLORER FOR ENDEVOR

Resolution

By default, the "Enable Trash" setting is turned on in the vscode workspace setting, Endevor explorer only move the deleted temp files to OS recycle bin. 

Failed to move elementXXX to recycle bin error is caused by the windows recycle bin setting (recycle bin is disabled for that drive). 

Workaround:

Uncheck the "Enable Trash" vscode workspace setting to manually delete the temp file.

Or enable recycle bin for the drive in the windows OS recycle bin setting.

 

 

Additional Information

Development team is working on the Endevor explorer enhancement: check the vscode "Enable Trash" setting during the file deletion.
