How can I permanently disable the "delete for everyone" prompt?

How can I permanently disable this "delete for everyone" prompt? I have to delete old files daily for work, and this message is a major hindrance. It doesn't happen if I take the time to sync the file to my hard drive, but that is a ridiculous workaround when I'm trying to completely delete a file.

This needs a "don't remind me again" option. Am I missing some way to turn this off?

    There usually is a checkbox with something along the lines of "Don't ask me again." I'm guessing it's not there because you're in a shared folder but I can't be certain.

    The only way to prevent the dialog is if that checkbox option is present.
