Description

I tried to delete a file on a Windows shared folder (it is on a NAS, shared through Samba). I get the following error message:

Error during a trash operation: Unknown { description: "windows error: Impossibile trovare il file specificato.\r\n" }

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the trash crate deletes files on Windows, specifically for network shares (Samba). Check if the file path is being resolved correctly and if the recycle bin operation works on network drives. Look into Windows API calls used and consider if a different approach is needed for network shares.
