Hi, I got a problem with the "soft" delete, when I run my code (and even guil's code), the program actually deletes the row and not "soft" deleting it in the DB Browser. Does someone know why? Thanks.

(property) ModelOptions<Movie>.paranoid?: boolean | undefined
Calling destroy will not delete the model, but instead set a deletedAt timestamp if this is true. Needs timestamps=true to work. Default false.

Did you by any chance put the timestamp in your movie.init() option back to true? If you don't this problem might arise because you don't have the data to the timestamp. Hope this helps :)
