2.7.6-4 Explicit Action to Select Destructive Modes

Users should take explicit action to select any mode of interaction that might result in data loss.

Additional Information:
Destructive modes should not be established automatically. In many applications, it may be better not to provide any destructive mode. Instead of providing a DELETE mode, for example, require that DELETE be a discrete action subject to confirmation by the user when the requested data deletion is extensive.
