Why oh why does delete in the download history actually delete the file? IMHO, It should only delete the entry in the download window in brave. ![Screenshot_20230207_143910_Brave](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/2/7/27b6f5647a2a87e3125db759f65864a5ce36e3dc.jpeg) ---

Hello @mikmikmikmik, thank you for reaching us out. If I am understanding correctly every time you clear browser history your downloads disappear? Please confirm this so we can investigate this case. Thanks in advance. ---
