Comment 2 for bug 604686

Duanedesign > I perfectly understand what I should have done. But the fact that I was tricked (and I a computer geek) is the proof that there's a need to prevent incident like this.

Hopefully, I recovered most of my datas by rebooting my third laptop without any connection. But I was close ;-)

Now, I think it's really important to prevent this from happening because I think that this is a very common use case :

1) receive a new laptop
2) copy everything on the new laptop from the old one
3) checking that everything is fine on the new one.
4) a few day later, removing files from the old one in order to give that old laptop to someone else.

If the "removing files" bit is done while logged in, you will also remove file from your U1 account and thus from your new laptop.

This look a very "normal" pattern and, thus, should not have any major repercussion.

I think that warning before removing a folder might be enough, with the following options :

- Cancel, I don't want to remove that folder
- Remove it only from that computer and don't sync with U1 account (= U1 sync will be disabled on this computer)
- Yes, remove it from that computer and from my U1 account. I understand it will be removed from any computer in sync with my U1 account.

Maybe the confirmation should be opened in a webpage ?
