pt-stalk delete opt_dest files with no warning

[zhechen]

The env on my system:
    version: 2.2.17
    system: centos 6.5

pt-stalk delete my dirs file when i enable the --dest option, I specify --dest=/data, pt-stalk delete my data dir files, and I notice the code:

    1354 if [ -d "$OPT_DEST" ]; then
    1355 purge_samples "$OPT_DEST" "$OPT_RETENTION_TIME"
    1356 fi

in function purge_samples, it delete OPT_DEST dir files

    1237 # Delete collect files which more than --retention-time days old.
    1238 find "$dir" -type f -mtime +$retention_time -exec rm -f '{}' \;

this may be serious because I don't even think to delete my files, can pt-stalk only delete files which filename only prefix with timestamp( default collects data filename)? this delete operation should be report on doc risk section.
