Description

When deleting a row from a table you get the following message:

Even though it ASKs you IF you want to delete, you get only one option: "OK".
If you want to cancel, you need to click into the background.

This is misleading. Instead, it should present two options: "Cancel" and "Delete permanently." (the last one maybe in red to alert the user of danger)

Also, check if this is the case for other confirmation prompts.

Impact

Avoid misleading confirmation prompts.

Because:

A user might think that he only has one option,
A user might think that the action is not destructive.

Additional Context

No response

Fixed.

@BryanHogan , the deleted row is not recoverable at the moment. Turning off this message may lead to accidental deletion.
I'll create a separate issue for your request.
