Removing "Are you sure you want to delete this sprite?"
Yep, and the problem is the first sprite you deleted is gone for good unless you happen to reload the page before you save it or you restore from a backup, both of which are acceptable safeguards, but both of which might involve other data loss, and both of which are not too obvious to people not used to being careful with their data in the first place.If you “accidentally” delete two sprites at once, you've got a problem.Despite the different reasons, I'm actually gonna support this one.I've used Scratch for 6 years and didn't know that existed until earlier this year.
If somebody accidentally deletes a sprite, just use the “Restore Sprite” button.
Plus it only restores one thing which is gonna be hard if you accidenally deleted multiple things.
IF this was a toggle (default would have deletion confirmation on), I'd semi-support to make it easier to delete in bulk. But the confirmation is actually quite useful.

I think you could have a “don't show this message again” checkbox and a way to make the message appear again

No support. The reasons above should be obvious.

I was about to dunk this suggestion until I read the posts in the suggestion
—
the suggestion is only good as a toggle
making it permanent will cause more problems than solve them

I think you could have a “don't show this message again” checkbox and a way to make the message appear againOr this would be viable, if implemented correctly and executed per to what the OP is asking for or the way it’s intended to work.
But what if in the case scenario of someone who doesn’t know that option exists, what if they don’t understand how to use that said feature/toggle? I have to admit, it would be a little confusing knowing that this is going to be a possible implementation.

(#22)Or even better, “don't show this message again for the next … minutes”. This is because the message is only annoying if the user is deleting multiple spites quickly.

…or a user profile setting that is on by default? Less careless Scratchers will benefit from a permanent toggle in settings.(#22)Or even better, “don't show this message again for the next … minutes”. This is because the message is only annoying if the user is deleting multiple spites quickly.

I agree but sometimes people make large projects using very little sprites so if they accidentally deleted one it would destroy the project and probably make it very hard to fix
