[QUOTE="Cloudane, post: 112740"] Then kindly don't make one. Yes it may sound obvious to you, but before you look down your nose at me, consider that for something like 15-20 years, Windows users have been trained to think "replace" means "merge" when referring to a folder. Try having that engraved into your brain like we have, then you'll understand that it's not as obvious to a switcher as it is to yourself. I googled this issue and there are indeed HUNDREDS if not thousands of other people doing the same thing. Obvious or not, there is NO excuse for deleting a user's data irreversably without making it absolutely obvious that's what it's going to do. By any HCI standard. [/QUOTE]
