Cannot delete a Planner Bucket
Hello Planner team, I have noticed that when you try to delete a bucket (... -> Delete -> Delete) the button does not work and the bucket is not removed. This happens when the bucket is empty.
I was able to replicate this issue both on Firefox 57.0 and MS Edge 40.15063. The steps to replicate are creating a new bucket (without adding any tasks to it) and then trying to delete. The workaround I used for this problem was to create a new empty task on the bucket and them delete it.
I haven't found this issue reported before, but please let me know if this is the intended behaviour or is already being looked into.
Best regards.

Hello Andre!
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. A work item has been created and completed for this issue - we will be releasing the fix to production as soon as it's approved. This will allow you to delete a bucket without tasks.
Let me know if this continued to be an issue for you.
Best,

Hi Kory
You can delete a bucket (and tasks within it if you wish) by moving the mouse to the top right side of the bucket, clicking onto the ellipses (...) [ellipses is hidden until you hover in line with the bucket name] and selecting Delete.
Just make sure that you move any tasks you don't want to lose before you delete the bucket.
**Note: I have also deleted an empty bucket and it works fine.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Deleted, yes, I have also found this behaviour in Edge. Thank you for the tip and work-around. I have searched a little on this and have not found any other solutions to date.
