[Suggestion] Deleting a logistic group should clear all the requests for that logistic group
When deleting a logistic group, the requests still stay. It would make more sense for anything using that logistic group to remove the requests when said group is deleted. This should also apply to anything using that logistic group; requests in roboports, tanks, the player, etc. This could help with the cases where you don't know where a logistic group is used, and you want to completely remove all requests globally. Or provide an option to modify this behavior.

I don't think I agree with this. Currently you can accomplish what you're describing by manually deleting all the requests in the group before deleting the group itself, whereas with your suggestion there would be no way to delete the group but leave the requests in place on things that were using it.

I guess my issue with that approach is if you accidentally delete a logistic group before clearing, you end up with a bunch of orphaned logistic requests. To me, the most ideal approach would be a confirmation and maybe a tick box saying, "Remove logistic requests on delete" if more flexibility is required.

I can think of scenarios where you would want to leave the orphaned requests in place, so I think you have to provide that flexibility
