Well, this might or might not make sense to some (I did not make my mind yet), but, AFAIK, deleting any playlist leaves its tunes (those not appearing in any other list) in 'Unattached Items'. Why should behaviour of lists themselves in limbo be different?

Perhaps we need a 'Delete this playlists recursively, together with any other links its members might have' emplode feature....

Cheers!
