A creation is like a file. "Save as new creation" makes a new file. Each file can have links to other creations though--things you've imported for example. If you were to then delete the thing you imported it would break anything where you've imported it into. So it gives you warnings like this--and instead of letting you go ahead and break the creation, it requires you to delete the other stuff it would have broken.
A remix has links to the original creation it's a remix of. The version that it's a remix of has a genealogy--the name for all the links--and that genealogy is baked in to the remix.
When you "save as new" you're actually making a new remix of that original creation that simply has everything deleted apart from the object you exported. So that means the genealogy is baked in, and there are credit links, and so on.
You can just upload those things, and archive/unlist them, but as they're linked to by the new creation, they cannot be deleted entirely as that would break the new creation. And once something is uploaded, you can delete the local copy, freeing up space. "Archiving" a creation actually asks if you'd like to do that as part of archiving.
In the future, if you want to store older versions, pause and click "save version" instead. Those versions can always be gotten to through the cover page of the creation, saved as the latest version, and so on.
