Parameters
- entity
Type: TEntity
The entity to remove.
Return Value
Type: TEntity
The entity.
Remarks
Note that if the entity exists in the context in the Added state, then this method will cause it to be detached from the context. This is because an Added entity is assumed not to exist in the database such that trying to delete it does not make sense.
