How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project Case_1168398

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

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.
