Delete category button is too prominent and poorly placed
The delete button in the simplified category creation screen is positioned directly below the configuration, making it more prominent than the save button. This confusing UX leads to risks of accidentally deleting categories during editing.

I (almost) accidentally deleted a category that I was editing.
the DELETE button is directly below the configuration, while the SAVE button appears at the very, very, very bottom of the screen.
I wonder if delete category should even be on every tab… Maybe this is better restricted to the settings tab only, and in a clear Danger zone
