I would think that it delete only files displayed in the tracklist... Otherwise, it would be a too much dangerous command to delete undisplayed files!
This said, it makes more sense NOT to delete any files by default from the Location node. IMHO, Location node refers mainly to the library (that is the information in the mdb database), while My Computer node refers more to files themselves. On a vocabulary point of view, there is a strong distinction in my mind between "Remove (...the info from the database)" and "Delete (...the file on the hard disk)", IYKWIM. It could however be an option for power user to change the default in order to remove both information and file with the same command.
Talking about dangerous command, the File | Clear Library is to easily accessible, again IMHO. I clicked on it by mistake quite a few times already (always answering No, fortunately)
