This suggestion is unique

  • [X] I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

When I was trying to enable a selection of mods, I misclicked and hit Remove instead. This deleted all the selected mods without asking if I actually wanted this to happen. This doesn't mimic the behavior of selecting "delete" to delete instances. When doing that, a popup appears titled "CAREFUL!", tells you what you're about to delete, warns you that it is completely deleting the instance, and also selects the no button by default.

Other solutions are to move the remove button so it's not right next to enable, move the mods to the trashcan instead of deleting, or only have remove be a right click option.

Better if a CTRL + Z feature is also added to undo the deletion.

It probably wouldn't be hard to implement a confirmation of deletion feature. However, an undo deletion would require we do something like staging the file for deletion and then eventually delete it when sufficient time passes. Otherwise we are at the mercy of the OS and some weird form of undelete.
