warning

I don't know if this is possible, but, I have a folder which I would like to show some warning message when the user enters in it. In my case would say that the folder could be deleted without previous warning to save some disk space. I already create a file inside the folder with the warning message:

WARNING!
##########################################################################################################################################################
Please, 
be advised, that the folder /company-backup/amazon-s3 can be deleted without previous WARNING to save disk space as the INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM judge necessary.

Best regards,
Infrastructure Team.
###########################################################################################################################################################

Is that possible ? Any idea ?
