There should be a confirmation window for consoles like how that virtual keyboard pops up so they can type Delete to confirm the deletion of their character and on PC like in World of Warcraft to delete a character you have to confirm it by typing delete. It’s the same company, so why didn’t they use the same character deletion functionality that they have used for World of Warcraft for over 15+ years now to help safe guard players characters? It was a lazy design choice due to time restraints and not wanting to allocate the resources required to implement their World of Warcraft character deletion system.
Just tested new patch on PC, works great. They changed the icon to a trash can, but more significantly, you now have to press and hold “yes” for a full 5 seconds before your character will delete. This should pretty much eliminate all accidental deletions. Thanks again devs, and thanks to all.

But what I need is character restoration
I won’t be reinstalling the game, accidentally deleted, was logging off after playing for some time, was having fun. all that fun gone. whelp. Since they can’t fix that, I will not be wasting time in that game again.
what is your suggestion if a red button with a trashcan on it and a warning message dont cut it for you?
*maybe adding a “type delete” type of thing?
