Feature Request: Ask before deleting record of current files
-
Please ask the user to confirm removal of all currently active files from the record. If the user opens Notepad++ when a drive containing such files isn’t connected or is experiencing problems, there’s no way to get back to the desired state after correcting the problem without remembering, locating and loading the files on that drive that were previously active.

There’s already a checkbox in Settings > Preferences > Recent Files History >
☑ Don't check at launch time– if that is checkmarked, Notepad++ will not delete files from your recent history, even if the network drive cannot be found. If you choose not to checkmark that preference, Notepad++ will delete files that it can’t see from that list. -

from the record
Maybe it’s about the already opened N++ session files and not about the recent files list?
If so, rather check the Preferences > Backup > Remember inaccessible files from past session.
