Soft deletion in Entity Framework Core

In this blog post, we explore the implementation of soft deletion in Entity Framework Core, a useful feature for cases where data needs a second step before being permanently deleted from the database. By marking data as "Deleted" rather than removing it completely, we can maintain a record of deleted items for further review or processing.

Deleted items will not be selected by default, but can still be accessed using manual SQL queries.

To implement soft deletion, we override the `SaveChanges` method in our `Bl...--GPT 4
