So an entire day's work is wiped out for a single data entry error?
This is bad, verging on evil.

Construct a mechanism for the users to correct their problems, and
eliminate actual deletes from your design. Instead of deletes, flag
rows as invalid, then after a reasonable period of time, purge
invalidated rows.
