Fusion
You should not use Delete on components or sub-assemblies, instead use Remove. Remove will maintain any needed underlying references to support the top level assembly. You can Remove your sub-assembly with a right click on it in the browser and select Remove. You model will not crash as all required references are maintained.

I use Delete, from the browser, very little. If I do it is for a body or component I "know" is not used in any way by another sketch, body or component and that sometimes is very hard to determine. If you ever see yellow or red background colors on your timeline icons, this is usually because you have used the delete key and Fusion 360 is using "cached" geometry. Cached geometry will maintain your design but not let you modify it. I work with may Fusion 360 models and this is one of the biggest issues I see, users using the delete key too much.
