+## Remove Non-whitelisted Portfolios
+This script removes Portfolio entries from the database that are not part of a predefined list of allowed portfolios (`ALLOWED_PORTFOLIOS`).
+It performs the following actions:
+1. Prompts the user for confirmation before proceeding with deletions.
+2. Updates related objects such as `DomainInformation`, `Domain`, and `DomainRequest` to set their `portfolio` field to `None` to prevent integrity errors.
+3. Deletes associated objects such as `PortfolioInvitation`, `UserPortfolioPermission`, and `Suborganization`.
+4. Logs a detailed summary of all cascading deletions and orphaned objects.
