When deleting files stored on my Windows PC drives, I don't get any warning message when deleting files since I deactivated that in the recycle bin options.
However if I want to delete files on my NAS, I always have to confirm deleting every single file.
Is there any setting that could deactivate that annoying message?

That's a good question, to which I don't know the answer. I do know that it's there to remind you that the files don't end up in the recycle bin when deleted from network shares (though they can be protected by ZFS snapshots, so the message is probably reasonably safe to deactivate).

You'll probably have better luck in a Windows-centric forum.

Are you selecting all the desired files to delete and then doing a "SHIFT + DEL"?
Also, you could get around it via command line instead if needed...
