Description

### Description

So, i wanted to try the app again after a few years, so i opened my network drive and tried to empty my #recycle folder.
Once i tried to empty it the folder list has been scanned for files to delete but instead of deleting the #recycle child items it scanned the original folder and tried to delete all files.
I was unable to cancel the operation by restarting my synology nas to prevent further damage.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Have a synology nas devices
2. enable recycle bin folder to prevent direct deletion
3. delete single items in folders so i moves the file links to the recycle bin
4. empty #recycle (i did it with ctrl+a & shift+del)
5. files from the original folder will be scanned and deleted
