Can I disable the "Delete file for everyone" message?

Can I disable the "Delete file for everyone" message?

I am getting the error message that requires me to OK "delete for everyone" when I want  to remove a file (see below). I saw the discussion board on this topic - the screen shots in the thread I read show an option to remove the message in the future. I do not see that option displayed. I need to remove this message. How?

I have two PC's, both logged into Dropbox. Both Windows 11. One of them puts this (cripplingly inefficient) message (delete for everyone?) up for every file I want to delete when in Dropbox folders in windows explorer, and thankfully the other PC does not. So there must be a setting somewhere that is causing this...?

5 years later and this is still an issue.  I have a laptop running Windows 11 and I do not get this pop up notification when deleting files.  However I just got a new desktop PC at my office, also Windows 11, and for some reason deleting anything from Dropbox I am forced to confirm my intent to delete with this obnoxious notification.  I am the admin of my company Dropbox account and I see no option to disable this anywhere.

I have just deleted 20,000 files and am getting this popup for nearly every file. How on earth am I meant to be able to work this month?
