It should be pointed that an empty directory (even if owned by root) placed in your home directory can still be deleted by you, without requiring root. You need to place a file into the directory.
Or if you want something drastic, run
chflags simmutable ~/.zoomus
as root. This will make sure that not even root can delete it.
That is actually true, just tested it. There is always something new to learn!
Yeah because removing a file or empty directory only changes the table at the parent directory. So you only need the write permission of the parent directory.
