Description
Related #895
If I upload a file to the network and later want to remove my claim I'm asked if I want to remove the file from my computer.
If I'm the one who uploaded the file it makes sense that I should be reminded clicking 'remove this file from my computer' I'm trashing a file that was on my computer before I ever opened the LBRY app.

Research direction
Start by tracing the desktop app's remove-claim and remove-file confirmation flow. Check how the app knows whether the file was uploaded by the user, then make the warning distinguish files that existed on the computer before upload; done means the confirmation accurately reflects that distinction.
