      OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
      Tables: Home 5.9.2

      Scenario: deleting a shortcut with tables context menu, deletes the folder instead

      Reproduction steps:
      1. Create a folder and tag it
      2. Create a shortcut to the folder (.lnk), and tag it
      3. Delete the shortcut with context menu
      a) Right click on the shortcut
      b) From the Tabbles context hover “More”, then click “Delete”
      4. On the pop-up click yes (untag and delete)
      5. Then it should delete the shortcut file
      but instead, it deletes the folder instead

      This is a serious bug! Deleting a shortcut but losing the original folder can cause serious data loss. Hopefully the development team will fix it soon to avoid affecting users.

      Thanks for the detailed scenario this definitely sounds like unexpected and potentially destructive behavior in Tabbles 5.9.2 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
