ask before delete


i use suse9.1 and kde 3.2.1
when i normally select Delete on a file, a dialog window comes up and asks if i want to delete it or not. there is also an option to disable this. well i ticked that option by mistake and pressed "yes" before i noticed.
now i directly delete files without overchecking. and i just know i am going to delete some important files by accident in a hurry....
any idea how i could enable it again?

In the terminal, use the interactive switch ( -i )
rm -i somefile
