diskonaut: Disable deletion confirmation.
$ diskonaut --disable-delete-confirmation
try on your machine

The command "diskonaut --disable-delete-confirmation" is used to run the diskonaut tool with the delete confirmation prompt disabled.

Diskonaut is a command-line utility used to visualize disk space usage on a system. It provides an interactive treemap representation of the file system, allowing users to navigate and analyze disk usage easily.

By default, when you select a file or directory in diskonaut and try to delete it, a confirmation prompt appears to confirm the deletion. This is to prevent accidental file deletions. However, by using the "--disable-delete-confirmation" option, you can bypass this prompt and directly delete files or directories.

It's important to be cautious when using this option, as it removes the confirmation step, and any deleted files will not be recoverable.
