In spite of the user's pain (self-inflicted), this thread has made me chuckle. In my early days as a UNIX admin, I was WAY too smart to ever do rm -rf. Nope. Instead, in a moment of frustration, as root of course, in /usr, I typed:
chmod -R 777 *
Sigh. This, of course, on a production system. It was not pretty.
@kovidgoyal: I like the proposed new warning dialog. Though I might phrase it as: "ALL files, including those not managed by Calibre, in [path], will be permanently deleted". The change only to make the action even clearer. But ultimately, nothing you do can prevent the user from being stupid and hurting himself.
