Rather than "Are you sure?", "Are you really sure", I'd welcome a list of files to be deleted cause they are hidden in the item's url attribute and might not be obvious from deleting an item what is or would be really deleted.

So when the user ticks "also delete outlook ... or external files", the window should increase and below YES NO should be written sth like

THESE FILES ARE GOING TO BE DELETED FROM THE SYSTEM

c:/documents/bla/bla.pdf
d:/ ...

PS:
I deleted once file myself, cause the message starts with sth like "Outlook synchronized ..." to which I said to myself "I don't give a .... about Outlook, don't use that ....", and just pressed yes. Only after a day or so when I was looking for a file I realized that it was linked to that item and was deleted from the system.
