The command line takes much more time and effort. Especially for multiple but not all, files in a folder.
I’ve already admitted my fault in forgetfulness that it’s used as a library and document storage platform.
I reiterate: there should be an option to disable it. I thing less and nothing more.

I suspect that you are in a small minority here. Most people use calibre as a library and document storage tool. We likely have hard drives that are large enough to handle deleting less than 100 megabytes of files without leaving us running low on disk space.
For me, again I like the option. It makes restoring a file a lot easier, takes a minimal amount of space and auto-cleans up in anything from 1 to 99 (or more) days.
How many books do you convert and trash every day? Given that my current library structure contains about 13,000 books, cover images and .opf files in ~13.5GB of space which is about 7% of my disk space, I can't see your calibre installation and libraries chewing up a massive percentage of your disk space.
