Description

For example, you have one alias that contains nested aliases; if you delete one of the nested aliases, it can prevent the parent alias from updating.
It would be good to add a check and print an error if the alias you are going to remove is a part of another alias list.

Tested on 25.11.1

I can confirm the nested alias can be deleted, despite it being in use in a parent alias. Marking confirmed.
