It looks ok to me, however, we have recently merged #13192 which provides something similar for server-wide uploads. It would probably make sense to stick with that design.

Also note that one test fails because it clicks the first button of type submit to submit profile changes, but now, the first submit button deletes the header.

I updated the pull request to match the site upload deletion UI!

I tried to implement it similarly, but unfortunately I encountered the following problem: @rails/ujs only allows sending a request body when using data-remote="true" which makes the request asynchronous. The problem is that we need to send a PUT request with the body account[subaction]=clear_avatar/header in a synchronous fashion, so the settings page is reloaded and the user can see the changes. To fix this I implemented the missing feature myself, controlled by data-sync-params and data-sync-method in utils/sync-ujs.js. An alternative could be to add new endpoints for deletion (similarly to site uploads). Let me know what you think about my solution!

I still feel like that this should be a part of @rails/ujs, so I made a version of this for it as well and suggested that change. I hope this could be part of rails in the future, so mastodon could drop the own implementation of the feature.

The chunk of JS isn't that big, but wouldn't it be simpler to have separate routes for this instead of having new parameters?

I've reworked the pull request completely and dropped the subaction parameter and the UI code completely. Instead of that I now send a simple DELETE request to /settings/profile/pictures/avatar or /settings/profile/pictures/header similar to how it is done for site uploads.

At first I was thinking about adding a /@username/avatar etc. route which would show the avatar for every account and would allow to send a DELETE request for one's own account, but decided to keep everything in /settings for simplicity's sake. If you think that would be nicer, I could still rework it.

PS: Also changed link text from generic.clear to generic.delete so no new translations are needed.

LGTM overall, except for the part I commented inline

This is achieved by sending a DELETE request to
/settings/profile/pictures/{avatar,header} via a link that is part of
the upload form's hint of the respective picture.
