Erase puede significar borrar algo escrito o eliminar todos los datos de un dispositivo. Remove significa quitar algo de un lugar o una lista, y uninstall significa desinstalar un programa o una aplicación.
Delete es un verbo regular. Como termina en e, para formar el pasado solo agregamos d: delete → deleted. Para formar el gerundio, quitamos la e antes de agregar -ing: delete → deleting, no "deleteing".
