Description

When trying to delete an egg that has dependencies (servers using it, egg variables, etc.), the
error message displayed is not helpful:

"Failed to delete 1 could not be deleted"

This message doesn't explain why the deletion failed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an egg
  2. Create a server using this egg
  3. Try to delete the egg via Admin > Eggs > Select egg > Bulk Actions > Delete Selected
  4. Confirm deletion
  5. See unhelpful error message

Expected Behavior

The error message should be more descriptive, for example:

  • "Cannot delete egg: 1 server(s) are currently using this egg"
  • "Cannot delete egg 'Mohist': Please delete or reassign the following servers first: [Server1,
    Server2]"

Current Behavior

Generic message "Failed to delete 1 could not be deleted" with no indication of the actual
cause.

Environment

  • Pelican Panel: latest (Docker image ghcr.io/pelican-dev/panel:latest)
  • Browser: Chrome/Firefox

Additional Context

This would greatly improve the admin UX by helping administrators understand what action they
need to take before deleting an egg.

i can confirm this; when Bulk action is used, the description is missleading
