Remove Quick Delete button in Outlook 2013?

In the "Compact" View of the Outlook 2013 Preview Pane, how do I remove the quick delete button which appears at the right-hand side of the previewed email? I would prefer to have the flag button as the right-most item. (It seems that the delete button is hard-coded with the "Flag Status" column and you can't split them out - I'd even settle for reversing their order).

Single view also has the same problem.

Solution 1:

The best answer I've seen is to turn on touch mode instead of mouse mode. This gives you buttons on the right side of your screen, but unlinks the delete x from the flag! Seems to work for me so far.

In the titlebar, click the "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" pulldown, click "Touch/Mouse Mode" to show it in the toolbar, then click that pulldown to switch modes. Once set you can remove it from the toolbar if you like. This should work in Outlook 2013 and 2016.
