One caution: Before deleting a style, make sure it's not used as the basis for other styles. If you delete such a style, all styles defined based on it may lose some or all of their properties.

I just tried it out. It doesn't seem to make a difference. I simply made a new style (style1) then made a second style (style2) based on it. I then deleted style1. Style2 remained the same. BUT, Word did change the Based On to Normal and checked the Automatically Update checkbox.
