Hi Blender Cloud Support,

I hope this is the proper channel to submit this request, I couldn't find any other contact details. I accidentally clicked "delete project" on a file when trying to click "edit" instead and found my entire project gone, there was no "are you sure" dialogue to make sure I wanted to do this. As far as I can tell there is no way to undo this action, luckily I had my file backed up to dropbox and was able to resume where I left off.

Can we please get some form of confirmation dialogue on the delete option for clumsy people like me? I find it a massive oversight that this is not already a feature, at least not one that's immediately obvious to find.

Thanks,
David Terry

I think it would be a good idea to allow undeletion of projects, for example using an "undo" link shown right after deleting a project. Such an approach (just do what the user asks, but allow undo) is friendlier IMO than popping up confirmation dialogue boxes. We can limit the undo time to a few days, to ensure that projects can get cleaned up at some point.
