 Hi, I’d like to suggest an UX improvement for the next update, because
 this is not the first time I accidentally remove the entire menu instead
 of just a menu item and it’s extremely frustrating!

 For context: in some non-English languages a “menu item” is often referred
 to as just a “menu”, which makes it easy to make mistakes in the admin
 panel.

 In the classic menu management, under Appearance > Menus, when I want to
 delete a new menu item that I added in error, because of the layout, it is
 too easy to click “Remove” menu by mistake, and by the time I realise that
 what I confirmed deletion of was NOT the menu item but the entire menu,
 it’s too late because there’s no way to undo/restore.

 This problem occurs when one scrolls only half-way down to the menu item
 that needs removing (not completely to the bottom of the page) which can
 easily result in having the “Remove | Cancel” links of the menu item
 appear directly above the line with the “Save Menu” “Delete Menu”
 button+link that applies to the entire menu with all items in it.

 I would like to suggest to move “Delete Menu” (which deletes the entire
 menu including all its translations – and on some sites this could mean
 quite a lot of menus to restore manually!!) to the right of the screen, as
 far AWAY from the menu items as possible so that one can NEVER click on it
 by mistake unless they REALLY want to delete the entire menu!

 If “Delete Menu” was further to the right, the worst that could happen by
 accident is clicking on “Save Menu” unintentionally, which just refreshes
 the page.

 This could save quite a lot of aggravation.

 Thank you in advance for considering.

 Best regards
