How can I disable the confirmation box that appears when deleting files?

When deleting files, I receive an annoying confirmations box. How can I disable it? Thanks, Cydnee

Hey cydneejo, thanks for your post. 

Can you send me a screenshot of the confirmation box you receive? 

I’d like to have a look for you.

      Hey cydneejo, thanks for the screenshot!

      Is this shared content, or do you use a Team plan on your end? 

      The notification you're seeing is because the file you're deleting is shared with other users. 

      The "Delete everywhere" message can be removed by checking the appropriate option within the dialogue box of the message. However, there currently isn't a way to entirely disable the specific notification that you are seeing there.
