Rui, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

Note that to delete a file or a folder (in box.com):

  • Right-click (or click the ellipsis (...) on a file/folder and then click Trash.  Alternatively, you can click next to the file/folder name to select it, then in the upper-right click the trash icon.
  • Box moves the item to your Trash folder and displays a confirmation message.  You can undo the delete action by clicking Undo in the confirmation message.

I'm afraid we can't disable the prompt to confirm your deletion. 

Hope it helps!
