Hi,

Since El Capitan whenever I want to delete a file from my external drives (HD or USB key) using CMD+BACKSPACE I get this warning:
"are you sure you want to delete...."

With Maverick/Yosemite it never happend.

How can I turn it off?

PS: does not appear when I delete file in the mac HD

What if it is the default policy in El Capitan? However I don't remember I have seen such pop up when deleting files on my external HD.
