Unfortunately no. Due to Windows technical reasons our files are deleted permanently through application.

To be honest, i dont think the delete all button should be there. I did the same thing myself when i was supposedly gonna delete just one file. And out of just retardness i just pressed enter to get past the "are you sure" thingie and whoops, it dissapeared

We are not planning to remove this feature since it was requested by the users in the past.

You don't need to remove it.
But make it so that there's an "undo" button.

Or make a user confirm the action by having a pop up "Do you really want to remove everything?"

I've had thesame problem as well

There is a pop up already.

I agree that the option should be moved, made less convenient or at least the dialog that comes up can be less generic so that it draws your attention to actually read it as many users simply skip dialogs that look as if they aren't urgent. Think I gave this feedback in 2012 and it seems like a programmer<->user perception disconnect. Anyone who actually uses the software knows instantly that this option should not be the way that it is, because it's convenient enough that accidentally deleting all your videos is understandable. I wouldn't even fault someone that it happened to.

However, deleting files doesn't erase the data on the drive, so you should be able to use basic file recovery utilities to undelete them.

The simple solution is to STOP DELETING THROUGH THE APP!!!

The app DELETES the files, it doesn't send them to the recycle bin. That is why it doesn't have an undo button. It deletes the link from the table the OS reads from. The only way to recover a file deleted that way is with a file recovery program.
