Delete tab

[MorrisJobke]

There should be a way to completely delete a tab also from the server.

Once for privacy reasons but also to get this warm fluffy feeling of taking care of the data you produced and clean up a bit. 😉

It should just require some additional steps: maybe entering the title of the tab again to confirm the deletion (like deleting a repo on GitHub).

Makes sense but I'm not sure it's a good idea. The moment you share the ID of the tab, it's not your data any more but it's collaborative data. Removing a whole tab would actually mean to remove it from all devices of all collaborators as soon as they go online. That is also true for a single transaction but I think this is more intuitive as it's part of a tab.

What about GDPR compliance? I don't know if this is personal data, but as soon as it involves names I guess it is a gray area. At least I would also love to clean up data that is really not needed anymore and remove potential traces from the internet.

Also I usually delete user accounts when I don't need them anymore to avoid problems with potential data leaks in the future.

There is no user accounts and thus no notion of an owner or an author of the data. You can of course delete every transaction separately so I could add a convenience feature to remove everything at once. I'm just trying to say that it is not exactly what you want: deleting all your data and as such it needs special care.

Having a shortcut for clear an existing tab would be enough in my case.
