Hi.
I have a "main" folder that have lots of sub folders.
If I'll delete by mistake the "main" folder ( and trash ) , the sub folders will lost !
How can I protect a folder from mistake deletion but not it's sub folders ?
Not with a password as it seems complicated , just simple solution. ..
The sub folders will be able to accept all changes like delete / modify / rename and all other actions
Thanks.

Not doable with OS X. Put everything into an encrypted disk image. When you mount it, you'll need to enter a password, but once that's finished, you can add/delete anything inside w/o a password.

Add the "group:everyone deny delete" ACL to the main folder. You can still manage to delete it, but will ask for an admin password before doing so.
In Terminal,
chmod +a "group: everyone deny delete" path/to/folder
Thanks !!!
