Delete custom / shared reports

How do we delete custom or shared reports?  The documentation here says:

 

To delete a custom report:

  1. Find the custom report.
  2. Select the dropdown ▼ menu in the Action column.
  3. Select Delete.

 

What is an "action" column?  There is no drop down like this in the report, in the report center nor in the report menu.  There are no right click menus.
