On a poll the button that removes an option is hidden to make room for the one that attaches something to it. What is left is a gesture nothing on the screen mentions: empty the field, then press back once more on the empty field, and the option goes. Put the same removal on the field as an action, and only where the button itself is not there to be pressed, so a checklist, which keeps its button, is not offered the same thing twice.

Problem
In poll creation, the button that removes an option is hidden to make room for the attach button. The only way left to remove an option is to clear the field and press backspace once more, which nothing on screen explains.
Fix
Add a "Delete" accessibility action to the option field, only where the remove button is hidden (polls). Checklists keep their visible remove button and do not get a duplicate action.
Testing
With TalkBack on, create a poll with three options and swipe onto the second field.
Before: no way to remove it except the hidden backspace gesture. After: an action removes it.
