Is there an existing issue for this problem?

I have searched the existing issues

OrcaSlicer Version

2.3.0

Operating System (OS)

Windows

OS Version

Windows 10

Additional system information

Irrelevant

Printer

Ender 3 Pro

How to reproduce

Create main parent printer
Make copies of it
Delete the parent printer

Actual results

The parent printer is deleted alongside all of its configurations existing on the machine, making everything else completely useless

Expected results

The parent configuration should get merged into the copies

Project file & Debug log uploads

log.zip

Checklist of files to include

Log file
Project file

Anything else?

It is impossible to export the project file as I have no project, my configurations are gone

I was lucky enough to have an older project with the configurations seemingly saved inside it so now I still have something to go for, but all my history for recent projects seems to be gone too

I ticked the project file box just in case there's some auto closing bot, I hope that is fine.
