Why does Django many-to-many delete() delete from a dependent model?

Question

Django

class BrandName(models.Model):
    industry = models.ManyToManyField('brands.Industry')

BrandName_object.industry.all().delete()

why does this function also remove the object from "brands.industry"

Answer 1

Because delete is deleting an object, not a link, why did you immediately come here, and didn’t go and read the docs on how to work with a link https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/models/r.. .
