There are two ways to delete a file in Mp3tag:

If you press the Delete key in the File List, the file only disappear from the list, NOT from your Windows 11 filesystem. If you press F5, the File List will be refreshed and your file re-appear.

If you click on the menu Edit -\> Delete, the file will be deleted from the File List AND from your filesystem.

From the [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/menus/edit/):

and the [Keyboard Shortcuts](https://docs.mp3tag.de/keyboard/):
