Would it be possible to add a confirmation step to the “Remove” button on the user drafts page?

At the moment it is immediate. Doesn’t help they both begin with R and have the same styling too!

This is legit, traditionally when we allow a “delete” we also have an undelete.

Since deleting drafts is pretty rare and 100% permanent with no undo, @techAPJ can you add a simple confirm here.

I do wonder if we should use a different color for Remove … maybe even remove the text. Not sure, [@Designers](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/designers) ?

I think it makes sense to remove the label and use a different color for the delete button.
