The vast majority of computer users wouldn't. 60 TB might be technically correct but it isn't useful. I don't want my computer to tell me "this data you're deleting adds up to 60 TB when you count it an unspecified multiple number of times". I want it to tell me (at least roughly) how much space on disk will be freed once it's deleted. If it can't do that, I agree with the author: I'd prefer an unlabeled progress bar, or perhaps 0-100%.
