In addition to the other answers, there are toolbar/ribbon buttons for "Decrease Indent" and "Increase Indent".

Oh, and one more - I believe if you hit Enter when on a blank item in your list, it decreases its indentation level as well.

Use Shift + Tab to step back out of the indentation.

Ctrl + M / Ctrl + Shift + M controls the indentation level of your bulletted/numbered lists.

In Google Docs I press Enter twice quickly to 'un-indent' but I don't know if this works for anywhere else... Unfortunately I learnt the very long and hard way.

Press Enter twice to get to the previous outline level.

When at the 2nd indent level ("delete P..." in your example), press Enter once to get to the 1st indent level ("delete M..." in your example). Press Enter twice to get up another level to where your arrow points.

If you are on Mac OS X, use Cmd + [.

Press tab to indent forward. To go back an indent, press tab and then press backspace twice.
