In case you missed it:

There are some reports that VMs with Windows 10 1809 aren’t immune to the particular file-deletion bug that seems to be in play here. Just as an added safety measure, I have at least temporarily disabled the default in Parallels Desktop to share files and folders between the Mac and the VM on which I have 1809 installed.

Boot Camp users with 1809, you may want to check your setups, too.

Interesting.. Perhaps due to emulated software? VMWare Tools in Fusion wold handle the networking/video drivers, but all the rest are mostly the same. Windows Explorer would not function in difference ways just because its inside a VM. perhaps on a shared folder with the Mac
