proof it does.  
for some reason I cant recreate it now though. Like idk what was up there but when i perform those same steps now i end up getting kicked back to the start screen. I’m going to redownload unpack and see if i can do it again.

Now i really want to know if its allowed or not. Like seriously?

And if using a command for save deletion is okay why isnt /restart? or setting up a macro to do save deletion for you?

save quick; wait 50; delete quick; wait 50; kill
