I can if when the Library directory is opened I hit the Ctrl/A, Shift Del. Yes I should have checked to ensure I was in the right directory, but I didn't. Whoops there went my Journals library instead of that 'temporary' library I called Keep for Now.
For me that wasn't too serious, because I had backup as of last evening, and the two items I added to Journals this morning were in 'todays updates' directory but... I can't speak for others who might pull the trigger as I did.
But if my daily backup disk had been bad (as it was last week, or I didn't have one), then I would had to resort to other means like disk recovery utilities, and/or re-downloading articles, journal back issues etc.

I can recreate a search out of thin air, or brain power at least. Actually, I keep empty clones of my three permanent libraries - so if I inadvertently removed a VL, I can copy its search criteria from its empty clone.
