This action is very similar to trashPost action, so I guess we can have similar config. Remove the modalHeader and add
hideModalHeader: true,
modalFocusOnMount: 'firstContentElement',
Although modalSize:small seems more fitting, I'm curious why we have the medium for trashPost. We should probably see to update the core one to also be small.

Done in 2e235e7.
Should we figure out the modal size separately?

I haven't investigated in depth but it seems like we should do that. Maybe the way forward could be a checkbox (checked by default) to also delete existing terms. Since we're so early with the experiment it's okay by me to handle in a follow up and investigate properly. |

Yep, that makes sense, and a follow-up PR sounds good 👍 This one is ready for a review in the meantime. |

I made some small tweaks to translators' comments and rebased.
LGTM, thank you!

What?
Adds a Delete action to the Taxonomies experiment (Settings > Taxonomies), alongside the existing Edit and Activate/Deactivate actions.
Follow-up to #77497.
What we're not doing
Why?
The Taxonomies experiment lets users create custom taxonomies, but has no way to remove them. Users could only deactivate.
How?
Mirrors the pattern of the existing
