Is it possible to cascade deletes from a parent to a child rather than getting an error about dependent records when trying to delete a parent?

<@U0295JLB30X> You could probably script this, but out-of-the-box, no. For things like custom records, I believe you can delete the record itself along with all associated parent/children all at once, but that's an all-or-nothing kind of proposition.

PS do not rely on the dependent records error to always catch records everywhere, especially those put into custom fields. Had a bit of a nightmare scenario long ago with that.
