I have a HABTM relationship between Users and Locations. Both Models have the appropriate $hasAndBelongsToMany variable set.

When I managing User Locations, I want to delete the association between the User and Location, but not the Location. Clearly this Location could belong to other users. I would expect the following code to delete just the join table record provided the HABTM associations, but it deleted both records.

$this->Weather->deleteAll(array('Weather.id' => $this->data['weather_ids'], false);

However, I am new to CakePHP, so I am sure I am missing something. I have tried setting cascade to false and changing the Model order with User, User->Weather, Weather->User. No luck.

Thanks in advance for any help.
