Option of Deleting Workbooks after Deleting Queries

After you have deleted a query, you can decide whether you also want to delete all the workbooks that contained a query which has now been deleted. All users can delete workbooks from any of their favorites and roles. This means there is no risk of accessing workbooks with deleted queries in.
