Important Notes

• This action is permanent and cannot be undone
• Due to the Prisma schema’s onDelete: Restrict constraint on OrderItem relations, products that are referenced in existing orders cannot be deleted
• CartItem relations use onDelete: Cascade, so deleting a product will automatically remove it from all carts
• Only administrators can perform this action
