--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
I think a user definitely should be made aware through a message that the
directory was changed after a deletion. This might seem unnecessary in the
specific example situation you explained, but keep in mind that a folder might
also be deleted by some other process that the user might not have triggered
personally.

The message is mostly about making users aware that the location changed and
not so much about letting them know that the folder was deleted. I understand
that to you it might be expected that the parent folder would instead be shown,
but an inattentive user might be surprised by this and then act on the wrong
folder because they didn't notice that the location has changed without their
explicit user input. The error message therefore seems necessary to me.

I hope you understand and won't mind me marking this as "RESOLVED INTENTIONAL".
