There are different ways to delete a role or a circle.
Notes:
By deleting a role, you will also delete all associated projects, metrics, checklists, policies, and documents.
By deleting a circle, you will also delete all of its sub-roles as well as its associated projects, actions, policies, and documents. The circle's OKRs will be moved to the "all OKRs" section of Holaspirit.
