When I delete a theme component, I get a fleeting uh-oh feeling due to the modal text:

 ![16%20AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/5/45cb6101797a7569012032d76fdef8c7ed602488.png)

Maybe it should be “Delete this theme component” instead?

Thanks for reporting this, I’ve just [committed a fix](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/a859ddc77e2514d91ce4b28c8060371ff6e13ac9) that shows the name of the theme or component about to be deleted in the modal.

That dialog could really do with emphasizing that while the theme or theme component can be reinstalled, any customisations will be lost.
