I had this happen to me today too, with Dolphin 20.04.2, opensuse 15.2.  Here's
what happened:

1.  I decided I needed to free up some disk space, as I only had about 12 GB
free on my home partition.  I decided to delete old mod files from the
directory ~/download/games/skyrim, which is where I download mods for skyrim. 
The directory had about 200 files in it, some of them over 1 GB in size.
2.  I opened Dolphin and navigated to ~/download/games/skyrim.
3.  I went through the directory contents, selecting old mod files that I
wanted to delete by clicking on the "+" symbol in the upper-left corner of each
file icon.
4.  I clicked on the "File" menu and then the "Delete" menu item.
5.  A window appeared asking if I was sure I wanted to delete 73 files.  I
confirmed.
6.  I closed Dolphin.
7.  A few hours later, I discovered that the directory ~/download/games/skyrim
no longer exists.  All the files are gone.  All subdirectories are gone.
