I haven't played DF classic in a while but I'm pretty sure I was able to click an option that had the equivalent of saying "I don't like this generate world, don't save this world and create a new random one".

In the steam version I see Play Now and Save and Return the Menu. Am I missing "Don't save and return to menu" or something ? I can't find any other button.

They removed it because people would spend 6 hours generating a world then accidentally click "delete this".
There was never a "discard and create a new world" option though. You would discard, then start again.

I would spend hours generating pocket worlds and tweaking settings. Not being able to toss a world I don't want to keep wastes my time.

And guess what, as an experienced user, you are never going to hit a to abort world after generating it for 6 hours. So, entirely not who this failsafe was made for.

Just hit pause half way through generation, you can discard the world there.

Ok, then as an experienced user, let me decide to toggle the ability to toss my crap worlds that take longer to save than to generate.

A confirmation would probably suffice.

Seconding the "why remove this?" train of thought.
I can be pretty picky with the way my worlds look, and being able to delete and re-do them was a nice feature.
