Issue/Description:
When deleting task items, users should first receive a reversible delete action with an Undo option with similar UI like COSMIC Files, instead of immediate permanent removal. Additionally, actions that permanently remove data such as deleting from trash or emptying trash should display a confirmation warning before proceeding.

Following the deletion UX pattern similar to the one used in the COSMIC Files app would help in a consistent UX . This would allow users to undo accidental deletions & a fair warning before deleting tasks permanently from Trash, providing a more consistent user experience.

Steps to Reproduce:

Delete a task item or task list
Observe that there is no undo delete flow
Permanently delete an item or empty the trash
Observe that there is no dedicated permanent deletion warning
But undo option is implemented for trash instead of delete from task-list

Expected Behavior:

Deleting a task item should move it to trash with an Undo option

Permanent deletion actions from Trash should display a confirmation dialog or warning
Emptying trash should explicitly warn that the action is irreversible
Deletion UX should align with the behavior and interaction patterns used in COSMIC Files
