Overview
Deleting CQ records is a controlled action that allows authorized users to permanently remove records from the system when they are no longer needed or were created in error. This functionality helps maintain data accuracy and system integrity while ensuring compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements.
Because deletion is irreversible, it should be performed with caution and only by users with the appropriate permissions.
