Even better would be to do what atjnjk says. Have the second dialog say "Your library is the folder named 'Precious stuff'. Calibre will now open a window on the containing folder. Delete 'Precious stuff' there if that is really what you want to do" (or some such). When the user presses OK, calibre opens an explorer on the folder containing the library. Don't select anything (if possible) so that pressing the DEL button does nothing.

At this point, the user is looking at a file manager. The user will see what is going to happen. The user must select 'precious stuff' and press the DEL key. The user will get standard platform warning messages. On his/her head be it.
