I primarily use external drives (USB flash drives) and cloud storage (PCloud) for active file management and storage but unfortunately the default file delete action is a permanent delete and not a send-to-recycle bin and I have scoured the internet looking for a way to change the delete settings but they only tell you how to permanently delete files. So to prevent future disaster, is there a way to make sure I don't delete things from at least my flash drive, since I believe PCloud has a backup feature.

Winaerotweaker has a setting for this. I've never looked at the reg key or Group Policy that it's setting, but they document everything on their website.
