Yes, my bad, I should have mentioned that this applies to venv, I will update
New submission from Ali Mohammad Pur :
`virtualenv --clear` is extremely eager to delete the passed directory without
any sort of confirmation, leading to possible data-loss
(e.g. with a mistyped command, or a misunderstanding of what it actually does).
Simply deleting an entire directory tree
