"Delete Collection" option also deletes items within the collection

I was just organizing my Zotero and went to delete a superfluous collection. I specifically selected "Delete Collection" and NOT "Delete Collection and Items". The standard text box also came up confirming that this option would not delete items. All the items were nonetheless deleted. Very frustrating and something that should be fixed.

    Delete Collections does not delete items. Any items that were in the collection would still be in the library root and any other collections they were in.

    If you think you're seeing something different, 1) upgrade to Zotero 7 and 2) provide a Debug ID for reproducing this.

    Yes I realised not long after that I was being stupid. Upon deleting the collection, the items went into the "Unfiled Items" folder. I assumed they would go into the parent collection.
