No problem. Then, I will turn this discussion into a feature request.
It may be eventually implemented by other interested users.

We use yes/no prompt rather than (y/n) for a reason - it is a
destructive file operation.
What we may do instead is the following:
In addition to the sequence of prompts when changing the attachment
directory:
1. Copy over attachments from old attachment directory to new one?
2. Delete old attachment directory?
we can introduce a custom variable `org-attach-move-attachments' with
the following values:
1. 'ask (default) - display the prompts
2. 'move - move the attachments form old to new directory (same as yes,
yes answer)
3. 'copy - copy the attachments, keeping the old directory (yes, no answer)
4. 'keep or nil - keep the attachments in the old directory (no, no answer)
I guess that no, yes answer that would delete the attachments is not
something we want to allow as automatic behavior.
