It is very very important that you remove files from share rather than delete them. I use the Mac version and windows could well be the same. You click File and from the drop down menu select Stop sharing folder. Just below it is Delete and it is easy as hell to click the wrong one. This is a poor design feature and I wish limewire could redesign it so that it is particularly hard, if not impossible to delete files, other than incomplete ones from the library. If you click Delete the file is indeed deleted without going to the trash. Please Limewire do something about this!!! I have only lost a couple of files fortunately, but it is an easy mistake to make.
