Active Directory Object Contains Other Objects. Are you sure you want to delete object

When I try to delete a user from Active Directory, It shows me the confirmation dialog box

Object contails other objects. Are you sure you want to delete object and all of the objects it contains?

If you cancel the running deletion, the objects delete thus far will not be recovered.

WARNING: if you select Use Delecte Subtree serve control checkbox, all objects within the subtree, including all delete-protected objects, will be deleted, and the deletion connaot be canceled.
