D Opus crashes when deleting a file or folder from synced google drive

When deleting it says "really move to recycle bin?" (I'm wondering if this may be relevant because there isn't a recycle bin, as such, for this drive) and then it does successfully delete the file from Google drive but Directory Opus also crashes immediately stating a fault with DUI70.dll

I don't have the crash (I do have the popup).
DUI70.dll is a system dll and I've seen no crash reported related to that dll on this forum.
It could be a corrupted dll on your system (executing sfc /scannow in a dos window/terminal could be a good place to start).
I really doubt your issue is related to Opus. If deleting Google Drive file was an issue in Opus, it would have been reported before.

Do you get the same crash deleting a file from the same place in File Explorer?

Deletes via the Recycle Bin are done by just passing Windows a list of what should be recycled. Windows does the rest, including showing the user interface (via DUI70.dll, a DLL Windows uses internally for some dialogs; Opus never uses that DLL directly).

It's more likely a bug in Google Drive (which has never been particularly stable since they switched to the "file stream" stuff) or possibly in Windows itself.

Thanks for your responses. In the morning I'll run SFC in safe mode and see if that helps. It sounds like you're probably right about it being a system issues for me. I have been having trouble with explorer in general recently, which is what prompted me to getting around to using a 3rd party solution - though I had planned to for some time anyway and just kept forgetting. I'll come back to this in 12 hours or so and let you know. Thanks again!

Just to give an update on this because you guys were so quick to respond helpfully, yesterday...

I've not yet attempted the system fix because I did it once before to no avail (but not using safe mode or the special way to deregister and reregister DLLs) - so I'll have to try that soon.

But, as a band-aid, I've bypassed the Recycle Bin in D Opus' settings so that it just asks me to make sure I want to delete and then deletes directly. I would not have thought of this temporary workaround if you hadn't identified that the issue was likely occurring in the DLL as part of the Recycle Bin process, @Leo . So, thank you for that! I can now continue basic operations without crashing!
