I have clicked the check box many times and the message still shows up. Any recommendations to stop this permanently?

3 months agoHey Hsciortino, thanks for posting here!
The confirmation prompt 'Are you sure you want to permanently delete this share file for everyone' is a built-in safety feature in Dropbox to help prevent accidental deletions.
While these warnings should be dismissed if you check the 'Don't show me this again' option, there is no setting to completely remove or disable the prompt for all future deletions. This extra step is designed to protect your files and ensure you don't delete important content unintentionally.
I hope this clarifies!
