delete... NO WAIT!

Some users appreciate a delete button rather than clicking a row and hitting delete on the keyboard.

But even a !! GIANT RED DELETE BUTTON !! with a bunch of warnings will still get clicked by accident.

So give your user a second chance! Allow them to confirm deletion by sending the information to a separate delete table.
