Option to disable delete confirmation popup when deleting online-only files from desktop
When deleting "online-only" files or folders, I got asked for confirmation with a pop up, but there is no "do not show this next time" checkbox.

Please let us disable this forever.
We can restore recently deleted files on the website, so there's not a risk of data loss, and it's horrible UI to have a warning that can't be dismissed.
I'd even tolerate a "don't remind me again today" checkbox, I just need a way to stifle the alert. It's even more annoying when I'm going through my Camera Uploads folder to delete duplicated/out of focus/etc pictures.
The only workaround is to force everything in a folder to offline, delete files, then maybe remember to put them in online-only mode afterward, and that pushes your bandwidth costs up.
