Description

It is unclear when the Delete button appears below an asset in the Asset Editor view -

No delete button

Now there is a delete button

It is my opinion that we should always have a way for people to delete assets here - we have a way for them to create new assets, they should be able to delete them. We should pop a very stern warning when deleting ("Are you sure? This may affect your program! Please make sure you are not using this asset in your project.") and have it be a 2-click process. But we should provide this functionality.

Research direction

Start by locating the Asset Editor view and tracing the existing asset creation flow and conditions that control the Delete button. Done means every asset has a delete action, deletion requires two confirmations including the warning text, and the asset is removed without affecting unrelated assets.
