Feature Request - More Urgent Warning of Irreversible Data Loss When Resetting a Site #94782

What

In General Site Settings, there is a link for the user to reset the site. This leads to https://wordpress.com/settings/start-over/{defaultURL}

The user is required to enter their site URL to confirm that content will be removed, but I feel that warning of irreversible data loss is not urgent enough for Simple sites.

I suggest adding a message in red text above or below where the user would enter their site URL to remind them that this process is irreversible, to accompany the message that is already displayed, prompting them to export a backup:

To keep a copy of your current site, head to the Export page before starting the reset.

Why

Due to the risk of irreversible data loss, I think it bears giving a more urgent reminder that the reset cannot be reversed.
