is there a way to hide root from the theia app? or prevent the operations on the file like delete?

Could you elaborate what do you mean by root?

You can unbind fs commands with the custom contribution. But a user can always use a terminal to perfrom them. If you want really restrict user access, then you should configure user os.

sorry not from edit-> delete. we can delete files using right click and delete

Navigator shows what os allows to access. If you restrict OS then the navigator should not show inaccessible files.

to unregister a command, you need to call CommandRegistry.unregisterCommand with a proper id. Search into Theia codebase commands using labels from UI and then use their IDs.

i am using docker to configure theia. so what should i do in the docker file?

in docker you should only mount what you want to have, it does not have access to host fs by default
