I retested it to see again the popup.
There are indeed 2 groups separated by a separator:
- Cut, Copy and Paste
- Edit Layout..., Refresh, Filter... and Delete

First group concerns 1 or n cells.
The second group can be understood as "pivot table action" since "Edit
Layout..." can't apply to anything else.

So I understand better why you and other people consider that Delete concerns
implicitely the whole pivot table.

If we start with this basis, we could indeed simplify the message into this:
"Deleting the pivot table will also remove any associated pivot charts.\nDo you
want to proceed?"

Is it better?
