ISSUE: Payment deletion triggers uncontrolled automatic charges and reminders

When a payment is deleted in Xero (even to correct a reconciliation mistake), it automatically re-triggers both autopay and invoice reminder notifications without any warning or opportunity to prevent it. This created a situation where:

1. A bookkeeper deleted a payment to reconcile what appeared to be a duplicate charge in Stripe
2. This action caused Xero to mark the invoice as unpaid and automatically re-charge an autopay client through Stripe without ANY notification, which cannot be recalled.
3. A second client received an invoice reminder and paid again manually

THE PROBLEM:
There's currently no built-in protection or warning system to prevent automatic payments from being triggered when a payment is deleted. Since autopay charges can't be easily recalled once they process through Stripe, this creates real financial risk and client relations issues when reconciliation mistakes happen.

FEATURE REQUEST:
Add a control mechanism that either:

1. Prevents automatic payments/reminders from triggering when a payment is deleted, OR
2. Requires confirmation before allowing deletion of a paid invoice, OR
3. Provides a warning that deletion will re-trigger these automated actions

This would allow bookkeepers and business owners to safely reconcile without unknowingly creating duplicate charges.
