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.

While I agree with the latest suggestions about putting it into the hand of the user, of course you know once this is implemented along will come folks who will complain that Calibre should be deleting the files and not forcing the user to do it.
But realistically, I think this is the best solution to the problem, let the user be responsible for removing the files. Something the control freak in me loves, which is why I rarely use any delete actions from any programs.
