My understanding is that the resource remains in all courses where it currently resides, but that it will no longer be visible when browsing or searching the repository.
When you mark a resource as obsolete you can recommend a new resource to replace it in the metadata. I think that course coordinators are notified of this through the What's New page in their courses, though I am not sure about this. I believe that deleting an obsolete resource just keeps it from cluttering your author space, but this action does not really delete the resource from the repository.
