Yes, I have the standard Windows Defender running as well as Malwarebytes browser extension. I may also have been playing with BitDefender when it was happening, but have since removed it.

Interesting theory. I'll keep testing it and see if I can reproduce reliably. I will say, however, that I've been testing the Kid3 tagger as an alternative and it was not having the same issue. Its not nearly as robust of a program and the UI / UX is lacking, but it doesn't randomly delete my files either.

It still has to be verified that MP3tag deleted the files - and not some other program. So far the behaviour apparently could not be reproduced.

Thanks for your feedback! Can you please try [Mp3tag v3.28a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) and see if the issue persists?
