Selectable folders won't be auto-deleted, only \NoSelect folders that have no child folders.

This auto-deletion is also done if LIST notices them. Actually the main reason it was implemented now was because with NFS if a folder is open while it's deleted, it could leave .nfs* files in the directory and prevent finishing the deletion. So a folder deletion would change it into a \NoSelect folder, but not delete it entirely. This is mainly a user-visible problem if the new ITERINDEX feature is used.
