Wow, sounds like someone has been stuffing beans up the Gerrit developers' noses.

If you happen to have an adblocker installed, you can add the delete button to the blocked elements list until it's addressed globally.

It seems potentially the only time to use it would be an accidental leak of sensitive info in a changeset, and you would still want to change the leaked value. More than once I have discovered an abandoned change from someone and learned a lesson so that seems like the superior everyday mechanism for "not useful" anymore :)

I just been told there is now a delete button, DON'T USE IT- I just pressed it by mistake after entering in edit mode thinking it was a "discard patch started on web interface" (but it is very easy to pres it by mistake), and apparently it removes the entire CR. I was told by Paladox this is a new feature on gerrit, and I do not like it already. I managed to delete the work of a workmate. :-(

I could restore everthing from the database backups, but as it also deletes the git files content, it doesn't work without it -it cannot be reverted- only text can be recover from the database in not the nicest formatting.

Apologies for the damages caused. Should I file a ticket to propose to disable such a button from the UI?
