Here is another approach. Make an Automation to delete the record when a certain checkbox is checked. The automation run under the Permissions authority of who created it (actually who last modified it).
So sort of by remote control, the user can request the automation to fire.
Then you have infinite control over who can see or edit that checkbox field and even if the user does not have permissions to delete record, that can "phone a friend" (if you remember that TV show "Who wants to be a millionaire"), and ask them for help.

Mark - this is a nice approach too. Since Automations is new; it is interesting to see all the different ways in which this feature can be used to replace older clunky work arounds /mechanisms. Personally, I still have concerns over accidental deletion of records, even by Administrators - which I have sadly seen too often.
