"Remove" only removes the page from the sidebar overview, it does not delete the HTML file #368

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question.

When I right-click a captured page in the sidebar and select "Remove", the captured page is removed from the view in the sidebar, but the HTML file is not deleted from the data folder (I have WebScrapbook configured to save captures as single HTML pages).

I am using one folder that contains multiple WebScrapbooks, and they were all recently converted from legacy Scrapbook format.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Check the recycle bin. (duplicate of #311)

Thank you for the clarification. I had read that deleted items get sent to the recycle bin, but I assumed this meant the OS's recycle bin.
