The only thing that I can remember helping against such actions, is the exponential need for confirmation by intent.

Means, if you delete one small file you need one confirmation, if you delete thousands, you need a intent stating i expect thousand files to be deleted. Same goes for size. So not a okay button, but instead a form allowing you to enter the dimension of the intented outcome. 100 files max, 1 gb max deleted.

If the request goves over the intent, the system aborts.
