Thought for a solid 10 minutes. Wouldn't it mean "Oh this feature allows
deleting rows which have unprotected cells only". This doesn't talk about sheet
protection. If the sheet is not protected, then delete is allowed even when
rows have protected cells. This would be misleading for the "Unprotected Sheet"
situation. (Or is it like cell protection doesn't mean anything if sheet is
unprotected, in which case it's fine by my side).

Maybe a better way to make the user aware of the fact that all the cells are
protected by default, and even if you are allowing delete row/col, you might
not able to do so for the stated reason. Something like a small note in the
sheet protection dialog box before the after the checkboxes, and before the ok
button.
