That is what I did. Can I remove that icon from the UI? I would never want to do that under any circumstances. That icon is not on the web UI, only on the android app UI, so I had not seen that icon during the entire process of creating the list on the desktop PC.
Given the very destructive nature of clicking that icon, I have ruled out the use of Home Assistant for a shopping list until I can remove that functionality as an option in settings. At least an “are you sure”, or an undo given the destructiveness of the action…
To be clear, Home Assistant is my absolute favourite “tech” right now, and the shopping list was just a great added bonus to everything else that it does. The shopping list missing the mark is just one small part that I can avoid for now.
