Example file from Calc

When the user tries to delete a sheet, a confirmation dialog appears "Are you
sure you want to delete the selected sheet?". 
But the sheet deletion operation is undoable, so this confirmation request does
not make sense.

1. Open attached file
2. Right click on the Sheet2 tab, choose "Delete Sheet"
-> A confirmation dialog appears: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected
sheet?" 
3. Press Yes
-> Sheet2 is removed
4. Press Undo on the toolbar
-> Sheet2 is restored

Version: 26.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64)
Build ID: b4f8a7da851147740a00c6ebd789b097c739a64e
CPU threads: 32; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Compare this with a certain competitor, which DOES NOT support undoing sheet
deletion, the similar confirmation dialog there makes sense, since it is a
non-reversible operation.
I suppose this behavior was imitated when undo similarly did not work on the
sheet in Calc. But nowadays it works, so this confirmation request is
unnecessary.
