    Allow.dat is one of the worst named files out there IMO. Basically, a file that is in allow.dat will not be allowed to be uploaded. So if I had in that file myfile.zip and a user tried to upload that file, it wouldn't be allowed.

    Basically it is asking you if you want to remove any entry in allow.dat that might contain that filename when you are removing it from the file areas - but keep in mind 99.999% of the time it won't existing to begin with.
