Not if you had unticked the 'Show this warning again' box - see attachment

I've never used calibre on OS/X but on Windows I sometimes inadvertently tap 'ctrl/a' (select all books) rather than a 'alt/a' (show books for current author). And then I reach for something to undo what i just did - hitting the 'del' key would not be beyond the bounds of possibilities - more so if I was stressed, in a hurry, a little tired and emotional...

Preferences->Behaviour has a button to reset the disabled confirmation dialogues.
