I would like an option, when right clicking an item in the Contents pane to Remove and delete a layer if it is stored in a local GDB. I sometimes do a calculation, realize that something is wrong with the output name, and then remove it from the map so I can redo it, but the incorrect version remains in the GDB. Then I have to manually remove it from the GDB. Add a confirmation dialogue: Are you sure you wish to delete this from the GDB?
Why can't you just rename the item in the gdb?
I can very easily see something like this leading to disaster among my users.
Interesting idea this as its a sequence of steps I sometimes do and could see value in it, but I agree with @AlfredBaldenweck this could easily lead to untold damage particularly with users who are not power users. As much as a I like the idea, safety first! I think training people to make the effort to drill into a geodatabase to delete a feature class is telling them that this is a one -way street with no undo.
