As the subject says:

$ zsh -f
% cd $(mktemp -d)
% touch foo bar baz
% rm foo * bar 
zsh: sure you want to delete all 3 files in /tmp/tmp.e9ZNT40K4y [yn]? n
% ls
baz
%

This is counter-intuitive: users expect 'n' to abort the command
entirely.

It was brought up nine years ago:

So...  Shall we commit users/13148?

Mikael had a rebased version available, I've attached it (with
permission).
