I've just deleted a folder that's used by my entire team, and it's such a huge folder that it's taking a long time to delete before I can attempt to restore it. It's not the first time it's happened, either.

I thought I was deleting a sub-folder, but no, I deleted the parent. When deleting, Box pops a dialog box up and asks something to the effect of, "Are you sure you want to delete this folder?" and I'm thinking, yes, I'm deleting the right folder.

Instead, the dialog box should ask "Are you sure you want to delete this <FOLDER NAME> folder?" That would have stopped me in my tracks before making this blunder. Can this please be done?
