I've just deleted another distribution list when trying to delete one
contact
from a list. Many people in my office have complained about this too. if
there was a box that came up saying "are you sure you want to delete this
list" then we wouldn't have this problem.

It helps to realize that Create and Delete go together as does Add (or Select)
and Remove. You don't Select members and then Delete them, you Remove them.
Plus, the Remove button it right there next to the Select and Add buttons.
It's fairly hard to miss if you have even a modicum of consciousness.

also when i've accidently deleted one it never goes into the deleted items
file.

It does go into the Deleted Items folder.
