What is remove vs delete in UX?
User Experience Toolkit
Remove and Delete are defined quite similarly, but the main difference between them is that delete means erase (i.e. rendered nonexistent or nonrecoverable), while remove denotes take away and set aside (but kept in existence).
What is the difference between remove and delete in UI copy?
Delete means something gets erased from the system completely. Remove means that it still exists in the system, just not visible in the UI.
Should delete be on left or right?
However, when dealing with text, pressing the Del deletes text to the right of the cursor. Pressing Backspace deletes text to the left (backwards) of the cursor. For example, if you click at the end of the example text below and press delete, nothing happens because there's no text to the right.
Why are delete buttons red?
When designers use red for delete buttons, the color naturally gives users pause due to its connotations. Both deletion of a file or closing an account are good examples of using red in design.
