Removing Hierarchical blocks on root, does deleting a block on the root page also delete the schematic page?

I noticed when I delete the hierarchical blocks that are used multiple times on the Top level root page, it deletes the occurrences on the following schematic pages which i expected.
Then when deleting a block that's only used once, it doesn't delete the schematic page on the left panel. For the blocks that are only used once, do I have to delete the page on the left panel to remove it?

    A hierarchical block is a representation of a schematic folder, which is attached to the hierarchical block. Deleting a hierarchical block from the top schematic will not delete the schematic from the design. You can delete the schematic folder from the project manager.

    In the below image, I have placed A1, A2 and A3 hierarchical blocks which are pointing to BOTTOM schematic folder and BLOCK1 is pointing to BOTTOM1 schematic folder, if I delete BLOCK1 block from Top schematic folder it will not delete the BOTTOM1 schematic folder from the schematic design.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.
