Nested Prefabs lose their Connection when the Root Prefab is Deleted
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project Case_1168398
2. Delete the Cube Prefab
3. Observe the Hierarchy window
Expected result: The root prefab loses its connection but the two nested prefabs remain as Prefabs
Actual result: All Prefabs lose their connection
Reproducible with: 2018.4.3f1, 2019.1.9f1, 2019.2.0b9, 2019.3.0a9
Could not test with: 2017.4.30f1(Nested Prefabs were not available)

Resolution Note:
This behavior is by design. The data about which objects are nested Prefabs is stored within the parent Prefab Asset, so when it's deleted, that data is lost as well.
