When deleting a directory, show the number of files and folders in it as well as the total size of the contents in the confirmation prompt. This can help to give clarity that you are not deleting a directory with important stuff. For example, if the total number of files and folders in it are 0, then you can have immediate confidence that there is nothing to worry about deleting that directory. On the contrary, if the directory has a lot more files and sub directories than you were thinking, you may cancel and re-investigate before proceeding. I realize it may take time to count the total contents of the directory, but seeing an initial value and seeing it count up like in the properties dialog box, you can get an idea if you care to wait or not for the actual total before confirming deletion.
