When dragging the Home folder to the Trash in the desktop the whole home gets deleted without asking for any confirmation

Expected Behavior

Nothing happens, or at least a dialog asking for some confirmatin

Additional Information

When this accident first happend I didn't even realise. After a few seconds I noticed that my icons and theme were starting to disappear. After a few more seconds I got a dialog saying some files were impossible to delete (maybe permission errors or open files); in that dialog I clicked cancel and the deletion stopped, but half of my home folder was already gone.
