## 2. Functional Details

### 2.1 Deleting Schemas with Child Schemas

When deleting a schema that has child schemas:

* The modal displays a list of all child schemas that can be deleted along with it.
* It also shows which child schemas cannot be deleted due to dependencies on other schemas.
* A checkbox allows the user to choose whether to:
* Delete only the selected schema, or
* Delete the selected scheme and all its child schemas.

### 2.2 Deleting Schemas with Parent Dependencies

If the selected schema depends on one or more parent schemas, deletion is not allowed.\
In this case:

* The modal displays a warning message explaining that the scheme cannot be deleted due to existing dependencies.
