No it would not. Which one is more annoying? ST deleting thousands of files in a frenzy or ST telling you dude I am about to delete %80 of your share, is that ok with you?

If I was to have multiple versions of these files I would have been …ed because it is much harder to figure out what to restore when you have multiple versions. How am I supposed to look at like 70000 files with multiple versions and restore proper ones. I was lucked out because I caught this not too late, and I had only single version per file.

And this kind of situation does not happen always, I have been using ST for years and this is the only real time I needed such feature.
