Delete isn't anything I use in production but it can be very handy to remove keys from the server so I can see how software will react in trying to reload the memcached server. There are other ways I could probably achieve it but this is the most effective for testing.
I don't think it's delete itself, but the delete-with-parameter that has somewhat confusing behavior. Delete itself is surely widely used as it's often far easier to just invalidate a cache than it is to update it.
I use it in my unit tests to make sure my client's implementation causes the server to do what the client expects it to do. If the client shouldn't expect it anymore, I'd happily kill it off.
