How to Make Dangerous Delete Buttons Safer to Click

Designing for error prevention

The most destructive action is one that deletes the user's data permanently. There's no way to reverse or undo this action. That's why you should take extra precautions to make "Delete" buttons safer to click.

Treating the "Delete" button without precautions makes it look like a regular action button in a confirmation modal. As a result, users will click it without much thought, which can lead to destructive consequences.
