If the links are regular links (ie. a href tags for example), yes, there is no
way for httrack do make the difference with other links. But "delete" (and
generally speaking any non invariant actions as per RFC 2616) should always be
made through POST actions to prevent this issue. Even with intranet sites, you
may also have internal clients using "download accelerators" -- that is,
modules that will preload links in viewed pages on the browser side, INCLUDING
possibly dangerous ones if they are built using regular links.

That's why I'm wondering if these links are really "normal" links or not.
HTTrack will never fetch form POST actions, for example (except manually, with
capture URL). (for this very reason, and for other complexity reasons)

Use scan rules to filter the dangerous foes, such as:
-*/delete/*
-*?badmove
