Resolution

The Trash Can / 'X' (delete/remove) icon is still available in the edit mode. The Trash Can / 'X' (delete/remove) icon is not controlled by the Delete permission in RBP, and is considered an integral option of edit mode and is displayed in edit mode regardless of the whether the user has the delete permissions or not.
