Thank you for your contribution.

Deleting incident records isn't a recommended practice. The standard approach is to archive records that are no longer actively needed rather than permanently removing them, as deletion can impact dependencies, reporting, audit trails etc..

Closing this for now. Once you make additional changes, feel free to re-open this Pull Request or create a new one.
