My favorite pet peeve is whoever decided that in gmail nothing is ever deleted but you can move messages to the Trash folder.
So instead of Select message, click Delete you have Select message, click Move, select Trash folder. Sure it's not much, but I reckon the cumulative time wasted by that extra action has taken a couple days of my life over the past decades.

- roryokane 6y agoI’m not sure what platform you’re on, but I suspect you’re just overlooking the Delete button. As far as I can remember, Gmail has always had a dedicated Delete button that moves a message to the Trash folder, though its position in the toolbar has changed at least once in Gmail’s lifetime. After selecting or hovering over a message, look for the button with a trash can icon. On Gmail’s desktop website, it’s currently the fourth button from the left in the toolbar (next to Report Spam). On Gmail for Android, or when hovering over a message on the desktop website, it’s the third button from the right (next to Archive).
