Prevent file deletion on deployment: just overwrite

[pamela fluente]

Is there an option to avoid the deletion of the entire site when doing
the deployment (Publish feature) ?

Why on the heart it has to erase *everything* by default? This seems
absurd!

If am I publishing my site I do not see why it has to delete all the
other folders of my site, containing other stuff !!?? Why do not just
replace the old files ?

And also, related.

If a folder is already there and it is write protected (like App_Data
on some providers),
why does it skip file deployment, instead of ignoring the folder
creation exception ?

I just don't get it. Is this supposed to make sense? Can I force
continue ?
