Explanation

In Salesforce, deleting an Account triggers a cascade delete of related Opportunities. Opportunities cannot exist without a parent Account, so they are removed automatically. Cases linked to the Account are NOT automatically deleted - they remain in the system (or go to the Recycle Bin separately). Leads are independent objects that exist before conversion to Accounts/Contacts and have no direct parent-child relationship with Accounts, so they are unaffected.
