Description

The process for deleting a layout can be improved in (at least) two ways:

  • Show a dropdown to choose a layout to delete rather than having to type an exact name
  • Remove the actions immediately so that they do not linger around until restart

Confirm the current behavior, then verify that deletion offers a selectable layout list and that deleted actions disappear immediately without requiring a restart.
