A hack to disable "move lot to bin" button?

Or at least disable moving inhabited lots and houses?
Or a hack that increases the size of the warning dialog to fill my screen and adds screaming?
Because I am a fat-thumbed moron I have, more than once, sent an inhabited lot to the lot bin when I intended to just move them out. I did this today in a brand new neighborhood and created 20 new members of the Unknown family according to SimPe (Yeah, because I moved them back because I didn't want to lose them, because I didn't think about recreating them via Sim Surgery, because I wouldn't've bothered anyway, because 20 trash files in a brand new neighborhood isn't that bad. Get off my back!)
Final question: Is it perfectly safe to delete these files if I don't mind losing handfuls of met "so-and-so" memories for Sims they will be meeting again anyway? Or can this still screw up my game somehow?
Thanks much.
If I understand this correctly, those sims HAVE interacted with other sims? If not, it's bad. If they did, it's DOUBLE bad! In either case, my answer would be NO! The safe approach would be to open up each character with SimPE (which still doesn't work with NL?), delete all their memories, INCLUDING the memories regarding that particular sim other sims have, and their relations with all other sims (this is where interaction comes to play), then it'd be safe to delete them.

Oh my God that made me laugh so hard. I can really relate to the "fat thumb" issue. I had a group outing with 7 sims: a father, 3 of his grown sons, and their wives. The father kept gagging at one of the wives, so I thought I'd have him "check sim out" to find out what he was so disgusted by (I now know that they have zero chemistry and he, for some reason, can't stomach even looking at her.And she's really cute, too!). Well, "check sim out" is found under the flirt option, but I don't remember it getting a jealous response before, so I decided it was safe. Only that option wasn't there; the only flirt option was "wolf whistle" where the check out option normally is located. I clicked it as I was realizing this, and I had zero time to cancel it out before the husband came over and slapped the crap out of him. The rest of the night everyone took turns beating the wife up. Nice. I had to put everyone on "power idle" or stick them in the spinning orb thingy just to stop the fighting so the father could repair all his relationships with his sons and the other two daughters-in-law. Haven't begun repairing the attacked daughter-in-law's relationship with anyone other than her husband. They all have -100 daily scores with her, now.

So delete the active characters' memories relating to unknown characters, then delete the unknown characters' files. Makes sense. Thanks, I appreciate the info. But wait, delete all memories? Even mystery sim and move-in memories? Not a problem, I just want to be clear.
I'm holding off on NL so SimPe still works for me.

Bah! I'm jealous. It sounds like all the anger and violence in the new EP is going to be one of my favorite features. But of course I'm being stubborn and waiting for the EA/Maxis patch.
