I'm not familiar with microsoft enough to really know what an internal file name entailed but, looking it up on other sources, it appears it made it so the files that appeared on the delete prompts were named to things like $Rxxxxx.ext which I'm not sure how could even happen. but yea the actual files in the can were named correctly, and they were deleted (or restored) as well. so its definitely a more minor bug.
