    # Marks are deleted when marker or markable record is destroyed. However, in some circumstances, some marks
    # may reference non existing records (for instance if the record has been deleted - not destroyed).
    #
    # Note: this method is not efficient but this should not be a problem as it should be used as a maintenance
    # operation only.
