We are now able to delete extension data when uninstalling an extension. This is wonderful. However, I would suggest changing the placement of the control, or in some other way modifying this so that it is not quite so easy to do.
The control is placed in the same spot as the control that allows you to "accept" the terms and conditions when installing a new extension. I normally make these changes in off-hours. At 11:00 P.M., I am not always at my most alert. It is currently too easy to accidentally delete the extension data. This is especially true when I am uninstalling a prior version of an in-house extension prior to installing the latest version.
I have yet to actually mistakenly delete my extension data, but it would just be too, too easy to do.

Hello,
In my opinion, the problem is not just a matter of inattention, but this option is too easy to use even for a malicious user.
So, it would be better to consider a password set for one or more specific users, who, knowing it, can take on the burden and responsibility of such a destructive action. Double confirmation can save you from a large percentage of occasions, but it doesn't protect you from a malicious and deliberate action
