Hello praetorian75, thanks for reaching out to us here!

 

At the moment, there isn't an option to disable this notification when deleting "online only" files I'm afraid. 

 

I understand that this would be a useful feature for you though with your workflow, so thanks for sharing your feedback on this with us here. 

 

While I can't suggest a way to disable this notification, you can share this as a request in our dedicated area of the forum here. Others will be able to show their support by upvoting the idea too.

 

Sorry that I can't be of much more help with this, but don't hesitate to get back to me here if you have any other questions or feedback.

 

Wishing you a great start to your week!
