Deleted files don't appear in Recycle Bin

See original GitHub issue

Visual Studio Version: 16.4.3

Summary: Files deleted from the solution explorer in Visual Studio do not appear in Recycle Bin. I’ve this this bug from December 2019. It seems fixed (I tested it) for folders but this issue still exists for files.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a .NET Core 3.1 project and open it with Visual Studio

  2. Delete a class like (eg: Program.cs)

  3. Open your Recycle Bin and notice your file isn’t here

Expected Behavior: The deleted file is in the Recycle Bin

Actual Behavior: The deleted file isn’t in the Recycle Bin

User Impact: Any decision to delete a file is not reversible. No second thought allowed

This was fixed in 16.5: https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/issues/5710, dup’ing against it.
