## Discussion

Discussion Delete donations as part of your app’s overall cleanup and maintenance tasks. You might delete a donation when the data required to perform the action isn’t available. For example, if someone deletes app-specific data with an associated entity, delete all of the donations that contain the entity in a required parameter. You might also delete a donation if someone undoes the associated action, or if the actions are no longer relevant.
