  Deleting an object that contained a link from a purged
  module generates diagnostic logs
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  - Create Module A and B
  - Create a link from Object A to Object B in Module A and B
  respectively
  - Save both modules and close the modules.
  - Open Module B which has the in-link.
  - Delete and purge Module A.
  - Now, try deleting Object B in Module B.
  

Problem conclusion

• While trying to delete an object in a module, the function
  that validates the links (in-links and out-links) tries to
  access an invalid link whose parent has already been
  destroyed. This process is now extended to validate the
  existence of the parent module before accessing it. After
  this fix, the problem is resolved and the user is able to
  delete the object.
