Create a method that attempts to delete all accounts of a specified type using Database.delete with allOrNone=false. This allows partial success - some deletions may fail while others succeed. Return a map with two keys: 'deleted' (count of successful deletions) and 'failed' (count of failed deletions). Track and process any errors encountered during the deletion process.
This challenge teaches proper error handling with DML operations when working with Database methods that allow partial success. Understanding how to track both successful and failed operations is critical for building resilient Apex applications.
Examples:
Input: accountType = 'Prospect', 10 Prospect accounts exist
Output: {'deleted' => 10, 'failed' => 0}
Explanation: All Prospect accounts deleted successfully with no failures
Input: accountType = 'Customer', 5 Customer accounts exist, 2 have child records preventing deletion
Output: {'deleted' => 3, 'failed' => 2}
Explanation: 3 accounts deleted successfully, 2 failed due to dependencies
Input: accountType = 'Partner', no Partner accounts exist
Output: {'deleted' => 0, 'failed' => 0}
Explanation: No accounts found to delete
