This Skill covers deletion of records in GORM, including single-record deletions, deletions by primary key, batch deletions, soft deletes, and permanent deletes, with support for delete hooks.
Set up a model, connect to the database, and run Delete on a specific primary key or filtered query to observe the behavior.

To delete a record by primary key in GORM, pass the model instance or the primary key value directly to the Delete method. This removes the corresponding row from your database table.
Soft delete in GORM marks records as deleted by setting a DeletedAt timestamp instead of removing the row. Queries automatically exclude these soft-deleted entries unless you explicitly use Unscoped.
To permanently delete soft-deleted records, use Unscoped before calling Delete. This bypasses the soft delete mechanism and performs a hard delete, physically removing the record from the database.
You can batch delete records in GORM by chaining Where conditions with the Delete method. This allows you to remove multiple rows matching specific criteria in a single database operation.
GORM supports BeforeDelete and AfterDelete hooks to enforce business rules during deletion. These callbacks execute automatically before or after a delete operation, allowing custom logic validation.
Soft-deleted records appear if you use Unscoped in your GORM queries. To exclude them, use standard query methods without Unscoped, which automatically filter out rows with a non-null DeletedAt value.
