Removing delete permissions from a group

How to remove permissions to delete objects from 'Contributor' group? I would like only enable administrators to remove existing content in my site. Am using Intranet/Extranet Workflow for content management.

You must check whether the permission is controlled by the workflow
(not likely) or managed individually. For this, you visit
(in the ZMI)
portal_workflow --> Contents --> --> Permissions.
If the permission is managed by the workflow, its states can
assign local permission to role mappings.
In this case, you must make the necessary changes in the respective
state definitions and then activate Update security settings
on the portal_workflow main ZMI page.

If the permission is managed individually, then a
corresponding permission to role mapping is
somewhere (likely on the portal object).
Those permission to role mappings are managed via the ZMI tab Security
of the objects (likely the portal object; but there is
a possibility that somewhere further down an overriding or extending
mapping is defined).

Note that a permission can also be granted via the Owner role.
Therefore, you might also need to change the permission for this role.
