I am using the latest version of iTunes for Windows (12.9.6.3) and now when I select a song or songs, right click and choose "Remove Download" instead of moving the file to the trash can but keeping the library entry it is actually deleting them completely from the library. The files are permanently deleted, not moved to the trash can, and the songs removed from the library.

I am using Apple Music and this happens with both matched and uploaded songs. Previously I could delete local files and re-download AM versions but as I said Remove Download now just deletes.

Any ideas? I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. Restarted Windows. Not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks!
