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.extwhich 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.Yup, totally broken then. Unusable.
Gotta love headline hyperbole lol
No one said it was unusable. This does sound objectively broken though.
There's different levels of broken. Like a drawer that doesn't close all the way still works as a drawer, and while I would call a drawer with its bottom busted out more broken than one that just won't close, both could use some repairs.
