Soft deletes an organization and all associated projects. The organization and its projects will be marked as deleted but not permanently removed from the database.

**What happens:**
- The organization is marked as deleted (soft delete)
- All associated projects are also soft deleted
- Organization members (contacts) are not deleted
- Historical data (invoices, journal entries, etc.) remains intact
- The organization will no longer appear in normal listings

**Recovery:**
Soft-deleted organizations can potentially be recovered through database operations, but this is not exposed via the API.

**Note:** This endpoint requires the Organizations.delete permission. The organization must exist in your workspace. This operation cannot be undone via the API.
