Is this even how the delete command would work in that situation?

like wouldn't it just say "Folder D:\ETSY not found" rather than delete the parent folder

LLM there generates fake analysis for cynically simulated compliance. The reality is that it was told to run commands and just made a mistake. Dude guilt trips the AI by asking about permission.

Most dramatic stories on Reddit should be taken with a pinch of salt at least... LLM deleting a drive and the user just calmly asking it about that - maybe a lot more.
