Deleting A Platform

This may sound very stupid but, if I go to delete a platform and start it from scratch it gives me a message saying “This will PERMANENTLY delete the following platform INCLUDING ALL ASSOCIATED GAMES from your collection.” Does that mean it will delete the roms from that platform on my hard drive or just from LaunchBox? Like I said this may be a stupid question but I really don’t want to lose 200+ GB of roms

It will only delete (remove) the "GAMES from your [LaunchBox] collection".  "Collection" being the games you have installed in LaunchBox. (I guess that can still sound confusing. ;))

It will not delete the ROMs from your computer.  UNLESS you check the box under ToolsOptions, "Allow deleting ROMs when deleting games". This is un-checked by default.  Also, if it were checked and you went to delete a game or platform, a 2nd popup message will show:
