Confirmation before removal

Am I the only one who would find a confirmation before removing a book from the library really useful? It's so easy to hit Del by mistake and not notice that a book is gone.

I don't get it. The confirmation dialog is there, is there any way to deactivate it that you have set?

I can't think of another application I use regularly that has an optional confirm for deletions. Even a delete from the Windows' recycle bin requires confirmation
