You are trying to solve the problem in the wrong layer. You need to reconsider your database design specially how you maintain the referential integrity.
You need to set the “CASCADE DELETE”s of the foreign keys and reflect that in your Entity Model. Then the database will make the necessary changes to maintain the referential integrity when you delete that entity.
