## Disabling vs Deleting a Service

While the system offers an option to delete a service, **we do not recommend using it**. If a service is deleted, all past orders tied to that service will lose the reference and may appear as "Unknown." This may be an issue when generating service-specific reports.

**Best Practice:**

Instead of deleting the service, **we strongly recommend disabling it instead**. This keeps all historical data intact while removing it from active use.
