Filter hook 'delete_{$meta_type}_metadata'

Description

Short-circuits deleting metadata of a specific type. The dynamic portion of the hook name, `$meta_type`, refers to the meta object type (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table). Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function. Possible hook names include: - `delete_post_metadata` - `delete_comment_metadata` - `delete_term_metadata` - `delete_user_metadata`
