Alerts when deleting layer groups... can it be turned off?

Is there a way to disable the alert that appears when I am trying to delete a layer group (see pic)?

 

It is disruptive to my work flow, and if i need it back, I can just command-z. Another over-engineered "feature" from developers. Don't make me go through a secondary step for something that is recovorable. At least give me the option to "turn off" such alerts.

 

To the people on this board who are going to say " this is a user forum, you should send suggestions to Adobe..."    Yeah, I know. I'm just looking for people to chime-in with my frustration.

Yes, an option to disable the alert would be a welcome improvement.

 

In the meantime, if I had to do a pretty effortless workaround without the alert, I would create an action and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

To prevent the alert from appearing, you can drag the layer item onto the dustbin at the bottom of the Layers palette.

Ok thanks. I do appreciate the suggestion, but honestly, that's about the same amount of effort as clicking through a alert dialogue. Still don't understand why I need to be stopped and alerted for an action which is not permanent.
