Remove the erase disk option on the finder macOS Sequoia

Updated to macOS Sequoia today and saw that when right clicking on a connected hard drive on the desktop, it shows the option to erase it under the eject option. I find it very very dangerous because it makes it very easy to click it by accident or even clicked by someone else (a child for example) and erase a drive with important content inside.


Is it possible to remove that option from this right click menu somehow? I also find it useless because most people don't erase their drives so often to need that option so easily accessible...

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0

Placing Erase Disk next to Eject Disk is a really bad idea. I wonder how this got thru beta without any feedback. I like the idea of having the Erase disk option in the menu. It just needs to be placed far away from the most commonly used menu item Eject Disk. I hope Apple is listening.
