Description
(Since the relevant pull request was closed, opening this to track the feature: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/1610 )
We should offer undo for destructive actions. This is a normal software pattern now (see Gmail, Android etc) and is very nice as opposed to modal windows. Also read Never Use a Warning When you Mean Undo
