Good point! However, if the ASM file is in use by an instance, ASMCMD gives an error message, so even those who ignore subconsious reminders are protected from themselves.

In case nobody has mentioned. I haven't heard anybody using ASM accidentally deleted a datafile, logfile, or control file, which definitely occurs more often when you use a file system. The asmcmd environment and the fact that a file's full path begins with + serve as a reminder, possibly subconsciously, that the file is not to be deleted lightly.
