That option causes news to be deleted from the library, not the device. The device (in our case Calibre Companion) is never told to delete anything, so we don't.

Calibre itself would need to change to make auto-delete off the device possible. My guess is that such a change would not be easy, given the option to delete news from the library on send that clearly could not delete the news from the device, but that isn't an area I have ever worked in.
