Hi,

 

Make sure you are using the before delete event in the trigger on the Broker custom object.

 

Use the below trigger as reference .

 

 

trigger deleterecord on Broker__c (before delete) 
{
    if(Trigger.isDelete){
        List<ID> DBList = new List<ID>();
        System.debug('DBList:'+DBList);
        for(Broker__c b:Trigger.old) {
            DBList.add(b.id);
        }
        
       List<Contact> DelConList = [select id from contact where Broker__c in :DBList];
        if(DelConList.size() >0) 
        {
           System.debug('DelConList:'+DelConList);
           delete DelConList;
        }
    }

}
