Deleting Task Photo Mistakingly due to poorly placed button

The buttons/icon for deleting a photo and for closing the photo in a Task are identical. They are also in a similar position on the screen.

 

This means that a photo was deleted mistakenly when trying to close the image.

 

Can the "delete" option be relocated and icon changed so the difference is clear?

    As Pete says, make the delete a trash can, and the close an x

    The prompt probably prevents most accidental deletions, but in a rush this may just get clicked.

    Hi Denise,
    When you open the photo, it opens into a pop-out window. In common UI, to close the open window, a user would go towards the top right of a pop-up box to find an ���X��� to close the box.
    I have never permanently deleted a photo by mistake, mostly because of the confirm prompt you���ve flagged below.
    I believe the most helpful way to make this clearer is to replace the ���X��� for delete with a trash can symbol, and the X for closing the window can then remain as an X.
    Hope this helps,
    Peter

    Hi. I would like your input on how to make this clearer. Currently when you hover over the X that is in the upper right-hand corner of the photo area, the icon turns red and hover help displays the word "Delete." Also, if the user clicks the X they will see a message, "Are you sure you want to delete this image? Yes/No?" What do you think would make this clearer - for this icon to be red all the time, or to remove this X and add a red X at the upper right of each thumbnail (the thumbnails are viewed in a row below the selected photo), or to add a "Delete Image" icon (like Classic) to the area above the photo?

    Thank you,
