Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I currently have a folder where a lock.json file is being created and deleted multiple times per day, resulting in (almost) the same file being saved into the trash bin. This makes the deleted files list really big, making it difficult to find the file you're actually searching for.
In my situation, 536 out of 775 deleted files in the last 30 days are the same "lock.json" file.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love to have an option (somewhere) where I can exclude certain files and folders from the trash bin. Excluding folders could be done via the details pane or through the context menu (this should probably do it recursively). Doing the same for files wouldn't work because these files might only exist for a few seconds. Another option would be to have this in the settings page.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually select each file every few weeks and delete them by hand.
