to change the icon for deleting an expense
I feel a trash icon for deleting an expense, rather than the cross (X).
When we click on an expense, theres an expansion of the expense's details right.
And when we want to close the expense expansion, intuitively it feels like the cross (X) icon closes the expansion.

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback! I’m sorry for any confusion.
I’ll leave this under review for now.

Also, perhaps, updating the message in case someone thinks deleting the expense is the method to indicate you paid it.
"Are you sure you want to delete this expense? This will completely remove this expense for ALL people involved, not just you. If you are attempting to indicate that you already paid your share of the expense, please go to Settle Up > Record a Cash Payment."

There is another reason for making this change, and perhaps going a bit further. We had a member who instead of selecting "record a cash payment" to indicate they had paid an expense, deleted the original expense. Yes, even though there is a warning that says "Are you sure you want to delete this expense? This will completely remove this expense for ALL people involved, not just you.". But people don't read! So a more apparent icon would potentially lead to less accidents.
