No need to worry about that. By default, Windows 10 and 11 do not ask for confirmation if a “deleted” file is just being sent to the recycle bin. This was a setting available in Windows 7 too, but wasn’t enabled by default.
It will ask for confirmation every time it is going to actually delete a file. For example, deleting files off a network drive or flash drive doesn’t use the recycle bin so it confirms for those.

You have a backup of your “business data” anyway. Right?
Right?

Anyone with 10TB of business data should have at least one backup if not the only thing to blame is you. Don’t beg for sympathy when you shot your own foot

No problem, just restore from backup.

If only there was a place where you could go to recover those files.

just del does not delete stuff, that’s why I always press shift+del

GetDataBack by Runtime is my go-to for undeleting files. Unless you did a secure-erase on your drive, GDB will work.

If you didn’t back it up, it’s your own fault. Drives can fail as well, would you have blamed the manufacturer then?

If it *actually* deletes files it always asks.
If it doesn’t ask you can press crtl+z to undo it or go restore from the recycling bin.

Professional data recovery expert here – there are dozens of softwares that might help one get data back after an event like this, but they can be somewhat hit and miss our unreliable.
The data is not necessarily gone, once it’s deleted – if it’s critical data, don’t take chances on softwares and lookup data recovery services for professional help.
I know this is just a meme, but I always like to remind folks that it’s not necessarily that easy to lose data.
