Hi!
After recent update that split the trash action into 3 buttons (#4505) the most frequently used button - actual delete from the phone and remote - requires scrolling to access.
I moved it before its 2 cousins so that it is visible right away.
I believe that this is the primary delete action so it should be first.

Thank you for the PR. But more than being primary, it is the most destructive of the three as well, right after the remove local file. So wouldn't it make sense that it takes a bit more effort to actually perform this operation?

I am not sure how other people use Immich, but for me, this is the most important action that I need.

• delete from device -> this is just to save space on device; there were discussions to move it to some menu, like in google photos, "free up the space"
• delete from immich but keep on device -> I don't really see a use case, I want my photos in sync with the server

I want to just be able to delete a photo, not every photo is perfect, some screenshots/photos are just temporary. I need to clean my gallery on regular basis and I need to do it through Immich.

The action removes file from device and it is moved to trash on the server, so it is easily recoverable + there is a warning dialog. I think that one protection mechanism is enough (I wouldn't additionally hide it, so that it would need an extra swipe).

Also note that in the asset view, we do see the real delete action. Similarly in google photos, this is the only action available in both asset and select views.

Delete action is just a common thing to do, with trash it can be easily undone and for me and immich users that I know it is annoying to go through this extra step.
