Title: Can I find all the permanently deleted files somewhere?

Can I find all the permanently deleted files from mt DB somewhere? Maybe in Windows Trash folder or is there some place in IM?

Never mind. I found them in the Windows trash folder.

IMatch by default deletes files into the Windows recycle bin. Windows will remove them forever at some time or when there are too many files in the recycle bin.

This gives you two levels of undo.
Marking files as rejected. This "to be deleted at some time" feature keeps the files on place on disk and all the associated metadata in the database. You can undo rejecting a file without any consequence.

Deleting files (rejected or not) in IMatch moves them into the Windows recycle bin and deletes all associated metadata from the database, including categories, face data etc.
