How does the Data Erase maintenance tool work and what does it preserve?
The Data Erase tool lets an admin wipe selected data/config groups, using the same engine as the setup reset. It performs child-first deletes in a single rollback-safe transaction (so it either completes cleanly or rolls back), and it preserves the Super Admin so the system is never left inaccessible.

The Data Erase tool lets an admin wipe selected data/config groups, using the same engine as the setup reset. It performs child-first deletes in a single rollback-safe transaction (so it either completes cleanly or rolls back), and it preserves the Super Admin so the system is never left inaccessible.
