Hi Constantine,

There's another thread about this which you'll find if you have a bit  
of a rummage on one of the archives of the koha lists.

Essentially, it won't let you delete the library, because the library  
still has patrons (and possibly other things which are slipping my  
mind at the momment).

It's just being sensibly cautions.
