The "delete" method on the\Magento\Framework\Model\AbstractModelclass is used to remove a record from the database. This method will also cascade the delete to any related records.

In Magento, models that inherit from the\Magento\Framework\Model\AbstractModelclass interact with the database through the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) layer. To remove a record from the database using such a model, thedeletemethod is used. This method encapsulates the logic for deleting the record associated with the model instance from its corresponding database table. By calling$model->delete(), where$modelis an instance of a model inheriting fromAbstractModel, Magento will perform the necessary operations to remove the record from the database, ensuring data integrity and consistency within the application.
