How to put this.
When you delete something, some programs ask you if you are sure you want to delete, how do you say it.
I'm not sure 'bypass' 'skip' or 'checkpoint' are the right terms.

The program bypassed or skipped the security checkpoint. It should have asked me if I was sure I wanted to erase the file and it didn't, it erased it without asking me if I was sure.

The message that appears before the deletion process is called delete confirmation dialog or file deletion prompt.
