# What would this do ?
# Basically, this would fetch all the associated models with embeds_many and references_many, we do not want parent model.
# We only want the child model to delete( or in this case 'remove') the records.
# basic algo :
# 1. Get the first element i.e. model_info from the array of the associated models.
# 2. Check if its nil
# 3. If not, downcase and pluralize and call that method.
# for ex: Client.first.projects
# 4. remove them
# NOTE: remove is now recursive
