yes, it has appeared repeatedly

• Describe the steps to reproduce a bug (if possible).
When delete mothed option in settings-file/folder operations general is set to use freecommander
create a test folder, then create a new file in it.
create a directory symbolic or junction with mklink, using the test folder as target
delete the symbolic or junction in FEXC, the file in original folder is deleted too.
If you delete the symbolic or junction with windows method, the file in original folder would not be delete

• Sometimes it's useful to make a screenshot of the problem.
none

• Try to reproduce a bug with default settings and without the plugins. To do this use these command line parameters (your old settings file will be preserved):

no difference

• Do not start the new topics for XE version in "Bug Reports", "Confirmed Bugs" and "Beta Confirmed Bugs" forums.

I don't know if this difference is intented by author, but I do think it is not appropriate and would cause big problem sometime.

I can not reproduce it ( for me it works the same way as in explorer).
Could you please describe more exactly how to reproduce the problem?
Please write the commands for mklink too.

Thanks for response

for example：
create a new dir: j:\symlinktest, and create a new text file in it(123.txt)
open cmd under c:\
mklink /J "testsymlink" "j:\symlinktest"
In FCXE, delete c:\testsymlink, popup the FCXE internal dialog window, "send to recycle bin", "run".
the symlink in c:\ is deleted, the target dir is not delete but the text file in it is deleted too and it is in recycle bin now.

I'm using simplified Chinese version of win 7 pro 64bit


i repeated it on win xp sp3 32bit (simplified chinese) in a virtualbox vm, the same result
