English term or phrase: you will not be prompted ***to confirm such overwriting operation***
Hi, Friends !

I have used this pattern in the sentences like "you will not be promtpted to confirm deletion", but I am not sure if it will be ok with "overwriting operation".

Can someone suggest a better wording ?

Thank you in adavnce !

Caution:

The new data slice will be written to the Target Data Slice Directory under the name which you specified in the data slice profile as the Target "Data Slice" File Name.

If in this directory there is already the file with the same name it will be overwritten and you will not be prompted to confirm such overwriting operation.

Therefore, before you run a data slice profile, make sure that in Target Data Slice Directory there is no file with the same name or that you do not need this file.

agree  Paula Vaz-Carreiro: I agree with this suggestion including the changes to the first part of the sentence. I was going to propose "If this directory already has a file with the same name, it.." and the rest of the sentence just like K suggests.
