Deleting a request effectively removes it from the system, ensuring compliance with the data subject's wishes.

Changing workflow might refer to altering the processes or the tracking of requests but does not represent a direct action related to winning or executing a data subject’s right. Merging requests may be a management function for consolidating similar requests but is not directly aligned with the standard actions envisioned in response to an access request.
