SUMMARY:
Sadly (but not critical), I'm deleted necessary autostart item with Plasma Settings GUI (Plasma System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart), but not remember his name for recover it. 

I'm have btrfs backups, but this snapshots dont include $HOME folder (in $HOME/.config/autostart I have several items). 

Please add option for enable confirmation before delete item in KDE Plasma System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Goto Plasma System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart
2. Press "-" (delete) button for autostart item

OBSERVED RESULT:
Optional confirmation before delete

EXPECTED RESULT:
No optional confirmation before delete

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: all (I'm use Arch Linux/Fedora/Debian/OpenSUSE)
KDE Plasma Version: all (5.*)
KDE Frameworks Version: all (5.*)
Qt Version: all (5.*)

I can see how that would be painful.

With most KCMs, we have this "explicit apply" paradigm that enables a two-step workflow: first you make a change, then you click apply. The Icons KCM shows an example and gives you a way to undo an accidental deletion. That would probably make sense to do here too.
