Incoming edge from other node not deleted when deleting a node

Hi.

I think the confusion here is that

{
  delete {
     <xx2> * * .
  }
}

doesn’t delete the node. It deletes all the edges out of the node. It’s different to the mysql case you quote because there isn’t a notion of tables or foreign keys here. The edge you refer to is still valid, because you’ve deleted edges out of the node, not edges into the node, or the node itself.
