The he would be prompted the 34 times all over. I think the OP
wants 'always (like Bon Jovi).

Updated patch. Now it accepts answers: y, n, !, q
(as the OP suggested)

dired-do-delete: Allow to delete dirs recursively
* lisp/dired.el (dired-delete-file): Accept 2 additional answers:
'!', to delete all directories recursively and no prompt anymore.
'q', to cancel the directry deletions (Bug#27940).
(dired-do-flagged-delete): Bind locally dired-recursive-deletes
so that we can overwrite its global value.
Wrapp the loop within a catch '--delete-cancel to catch when
the user abort the directtry deletion.
