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...

    Hey maxvan,

    As I mentioned previously, there isn't an option to disable to notification you're seeing there at the moment. The "Delete everywhere" notification that has been discussed on the Community does have this option. However the notification you're seeing is a different one that currently doesn't have the option to disable it.

    Sorry that I can't help any further with this!

I am in the process of deleting approx. 2,000 files. Every 30-50 files, I have to answer the question whether I want to delete them for everyone. I mean, '46 others'. Which others? I don't even know, so the message is totally useless. Please can you make it go away? Just delete them for everyone, every time. Nobody is ever going to want to click 'cancel' on this dialog.

I've got to ask the same question. It's a pain in the arse to have this message pop up every few minutes with no option to disable.
