Delete Database Option

When I attempt to delete a database, there is a checkbox
saying - "Delete backup and restore history for the
database".
What does this option means ? Should I select it ?
ThaIf you don't care about the database, sure.

When ever you perform a Backup or restore of database or transaction log a
entry will put into
MSDB..backupfile, msdb..backupmediafamily,msdb..backupmediaset
tables,msdb..restorefile,msdb..restorefilegroup,msdb..restorehistory.
These are nothing but history of your backup and restore operation. So when
when you select this option
automatically all the history will be deleted form MSDB database for the
above tables.
Should I select it ?
Since you do not require even the database, you can select this option.
