Thanks for reaching out! This is intended behavior.

Because we treat our issues list as the team's backlog, we close issues that are questions since they don't represent a task needing to be completed. For most questions about Electron there are a lot of options.

Check out the Electron community. There are also a bunch of helpful people in this community forum that should be willing to point you in the right direction.

Move to Trash and erase files permanently are not the same.

Node fs.unlink can be used for erasing files.

Move to Trash means that users will be able to restore files anytime.
