This might be a safeguard to prevent the deletion of view-only content, though I'm not entirely sure. In such a case, wouldn't it be more logical to simply hide the delete option? @rtibbles @bjester, is there any background behind this issue that you could provide?

Yes, I think we just shouldn't be showing the button - although it would be useful to have an option to no longer be a viewer on a channel.
