We need only to provide error response (API and UI) indicating the reasons
for conflict. We should not delete the mappings automatically. Otherwise
system may behave unexpected way after the deletion.
It should be the identity admin responsibility to re-configure the affected
SPs to free up the user store for deletion while maintaining the business
logic.
