Effect of "Delete the driver software for this device" checkbox in Windows' Device Manager?

In Windows, when deleting a device from Device Manager, the user is sometimes provided with a checkbox that specifies "Delete the driver software for this device".

Does checking that box ever delete drivers that were included with Windows or with a Windows update?

Is the answer the same for both Windows 7 and Windows 10?
