Description
Sandboxes are now soft-deleted before being purged from the database, and will hang around for 7 days. See #4670
There's a bit of problem there because you can't re-create another sandbox with the same name. It also adds clutter to the UI.
A cheap solution is to add a "Delete Now" button to the greyed-out sandbox tile
Very crude mockup:
Like this but do it nicely, with a less prominent button and a nice layout. A red delete icon might be all we need?

Research direction
Start from the greyed-out sandbox tile and trace the existing soft-delete and seven-day purge behavior described in the issue. Add a clearly arranged, less prominent Delete Now control that immediately removes the sandbox, then verify that the tile updates and a sandbox with the same name can be recreated.
