Plex Media Server hard deleting sub-title files

Server Version#: 1.20.0.3181
Player Version#: 4.39.1

Went to add a subtitle file to a movie I just added (Library is using the new Plex agent) and discovered it had added every single SRT file in my movies folder (I keep them all in one folder) as subtitle options. Previously when you hit the X to delete a subtitle from a movie it only deleted it from the list of options for that movie in Plex. Now apparently it just straight deletes the file with no warning that that’s what it’s actually doing. Not sending it to the Recycle Bin like it does when you delete a media file, completely deletes it. Bang, gone forever. Fortunately, I had them backed up, but it would have been nice if it gave some warning about this new behavior that is not consistent with any previous Plex behavior.
