How to remove child one to many related records in EF code first database?

Question

Well, I have one-to-many related model:

public class Parent
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public ICollection<         


        

Answer 1

This is called "deleting orphans".

Can EF automatically delete data that is orphaned, where the parent is not deleted?

I don't know how it works in EF6 but in EF Core it works fine https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/saving/cascade-delete so you don't necessarily need to delete the parent for cascades to work.
