 It can be extremely frustrating to delete several widgets at once, which
 often happens when first setting up a theme (removing default widgets).
 Currently, you have to expand the widget control, then locate the remove
 button at the bottom, which is in a different location depending on the
 length of the widget control.

 Once it's possible to easily recover deleted widgets (via the inactive
 widgets functionality), we can safely introduce an easier way to delete
 widgets. An obvious approach would to bring over the functionality in
 menus, where a bulk-deletion mode is exposed when adding new menu items.
 Once that's in place, the bulk-delete design can be iterated for both
 menus and widgets in parallel.
