I'm not sure how in Windows (I've been a Linux admin mostly), but I'd imagine there is a way to set the Windows file permissions so that at an OS level you couldn't delete files via Jellyfin.
Many many of us have made this mistake or had some other computer catastrophe where we lost data. Create a backup regime for important or irreplaceable files.
Do keep in mind that if you do remove items (without deleting them) from Jellyfin, the next time Jellyfin scans your library it will re-add them.
