Im redesigning the products admin panel for a marketplace web-app where the user can add/edit/delete products. There isn't to much space available so I need to use icons for edit and delete. What do you think is the most intuitive icon to use as a delete action: a cross(x), minus, a trash bin?
Update: I gotta agree with @peterchen; a hand drawn" "x" without the extra bounding box/circle would reduce chances of confusion with a Close icon. The following shows an example of standard and hovered icons:
Trash Bin - once user trigger, information will go to Trash Bin which can be recovered later incase of back up need.here we can haveOpen Trash for delete Closed Trash for deleted files
I agree with an X, but it is very possible that hand-drawn x may not fit with the branding or design of the site. A hand drawn X - feels a bit outdated in the context of a lot of the sites I see today. IMO almost any X will communicate the delete action, I think the X is a commonly enough used paradigm, that people understand it in a variety of styles.
As with those immediately before, my personal recognition would be trash bin. In particular, because that's more universal than "x" icons when you begin looking at the UI components of desktop operating systems, too.
The red X is usually my first inclination. I agree that a trash can is nice, though I find that to render it properly requires quite a bit of detail and highly detailed icons tend to become harder to decipher at first glance. A red X is very obvious.
Google has created over 2,100 official Material icons, each in five different "themes" (see below).For each SVG icon, we export the respective React component from the @mui/icons-material package.You can search the full list of these icons.
Each Material icon also has a "theme": Filled (default), Outlined, Rounded, Two-tone, and Sharp. To import the icon component with a theme other than the default, append the theme name to the icon name. For example @mui/icons-material/Delete icon with:
The Material Design guidelines name the icons using "snake_case" naming (for example delete_forever, add_a_photo), while @mui/icons-material exports the respective icons using "PascalCase" naming (for example DeleteForever, AddAPhoto). There are three exceptions to this naming rule: 3d_rotation exported as ThreeDRotation, 4k exported as FourK, and 360 exported as ThreeSixty.
The Icon component will display an icon from any icon font that supports ligatures.As a prerequisite, you must include one, such as theMaterial Icons font in your project.To use an icon simply wrap the icon name (font ligature) with the Icon component,for example:
Note that the Font Awesome icons weren't designed like the Material Icons (compare the two previous demos).The fa icons are cropped to use all the space available. You can adjust for this with a global override:
Both approaches work fine, however there are some subtle differences, especially in terms of performance and rendering quality.Whenever possible SVG is preferred as it allows code splitting, supports more icons, and renders faster and better.

In my case it wasn't an app. It was a quick access to a webpage that I "shared" to home screen. Same happens with Shortcuts icons. Since they are not apps doesn't give you the option to remove the icon from home screen (go figure...).
When you swipe left, it should have a red trashcan. If it has a blue icon that "Archives" the email instead, you need to change this setting for the email address that contains the email. For example, Gmail archives emails by default on the iPhone instead of immediately deleting the unwanted emails. To change this:
Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it comes up. You will not lose anything.
Ahh ok that's what the issue was. The phone had the gmail set to archive & not delete and now when I swipe left I get the delete function and also when inside of an email I now have a trash can as the middle icon out of the 5 at the bottom.
Suddenly the trash/delete icon at the top of the Mail screen has greyed out. I can still delete individual messages from the icon within the message or using the delete key, but there is no longer any way to delete multiple messages at once. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you're unable to delete emails from the menu bar in Mail on your Mac. We'd be happy to help point you towards a resolution.
If you have not yet done so, let's test if the behavior persists after you quit Mail and restart your Mac. If there's no change after, try rebuilding mailboxes, then check if you can delete emails again:
Hi, a new icon suddenly appeared on my homescreen which I didn't even bookmark, download nor purchase. Tried deleting it but no X mark appeared. The only options were: Edit home screen or Share bookmark.
Maybe its because they don't like the idea of having a delete button on the keyboard. That is advanced technology.. the old delete button... I mean I totally understand if apple don't have the technology to create a delete button. It is a highly advanced button to put on the keyboard so its fair enough yea.
of course that would be easier, but that's not what apple chose to do. you may wan't to send apple some feedback and let them know which functions you would like to see added / changed. you can use this link: Feedback - macOS - Apple
but anyways, if you have a 3rd party app that you can't delete, i think i would try temporarily disabling SIP. boot into recovery by holding "command+R" during startup. once there open terminal by clicking on "utilities" in the menubar and choosing "terminal". then paste in "csrutil disable" without the quotes. enter your admin password if prompted. then restart the mac and try deleting the file. wether or not it works, make sure to re-enable SIP. boot into recovery again, reopen terminal and paste in "csrutil enable" without the quotes. enter your admin password if prompted and again restart the mac normally.
this doesn't get rid of the apps, but rather "hides" them. you can drag any apps you don't use to the right edge of your desktop. once you hold them "against" the edge for about 1/2 a second, your launchpad will "slide" to the left, revealing the second launchpad page. you can then drop it there. you can also drag icons from the second launchpad to the first by dragging them to the left edge of the second launchpad screen. i currently have three launchpad pages. i keep my most used apps on the first page, my not as often used apps on the second page, and the apps that i never use on the third. and you can fit as many as 35 apps on each launchpad page.
Its about control. This is just an example of what happens when you take the power out of the users hands. One has to venture out into the google. I should not have to go on google to figure out how to delete an icon full stop.
For any other apps, you have to uninstall them according to their uninstallation instructions. Sometimes you can just drag the app from the Applications folder in the Finder to the trash. In other cases, you must use a dedicated uninstaller provided by the developer. Each app is different and you have to find out what a given app's uninstallation procedure is before you attempt it.
Then you'll have to talk to Steam about that. Regardless, you don't have that power and never did. The operating system requires certain files and folders to function. Those files are read-only and protected. You can't delete them. And if you did somehow manage to disable system security, unseal the read-only volume, and then cryptographically re-seal it, the operating system wouldn't boot. Well, I guess you can delete anything you want. You just can't expect the system to function afterwards.
It does work from a database, so that may not have been updated when you removed the app. The only way to manage that is to delete the index and let it rebuild. I think it is still a SQLite database, so you might be able to edit it using SQL.
This is a common problem. It was trivial to find other people posting identical questions. I took the liberty of finding a post on the Steam forum that show you how to find the app so you can delete it.
Same boat here. Loved (almost) everything about eM Client and was ready to buy pro. The lack of an inline delete was a dealbreaker for me for Mailbird, and is a dealbreaker for me for eM Client. Sounds like a petty thing at first, until you realize that repeatedly deleting emails is probably the most frequent action you take (meaning me, not necessarily everyone else), and the inline delete is by far the quickest way to do this.
You could make the user a local admin temporarily. This way they can delete it. If it was installed with Domain admin rights, you may have this problem with all users not that level of creds or higher.
I actually reformatted this pc and installed from scratch. i was going to get it all setup and create an image using Driveimage (first time using this software). When I installed DI it created an icon for both users.
I have had an issue like this as well. The user had Webroot spyware sweeper with the spyware shield option turned on. This basically locked down changes to some settings on the PC for that user. For example we were unable to: uninstall applications, change the homepage,modify desktop icons, or make changes to the registry while it was running.
