Deleting a source Term when it is still reused elsewhere will move the source term to the orphaned TermSet object, and the Term becomes an orphan. Orphan terms cannot be deleted directly. When all reused term objects are deleted, the orphan is automatically deleted.
Use of this method requires TaxonomyRights.EditTerm permissions. Call the CommitAll() method to save this change to the database.
