I do understand the initial concern for some people who could press the button without realizing the consequences. However, in fact the consequences are not so scary, because (1) no data is lost anyway and then (2) those who pressed the button will see the warning on the confirm page anyway.
Making the button outstanding with the scary text in red color was sufficient enough, so if possible please remove the description text.
