This is a recurrent problem. Perhaps we should have an option in the control panel to enable/disable the showing of the Erase option for activities or make moving the Erase option a few more clicks away (perhaps inside the control panel, the activity updater widget/code might be reusable).
Basir: is your motivation based on establishing a policy of having some activities not erased or because users accidentally remove activities every once in a while (as we have experienced frequently in our deployment in Paraguay) ?
