What exactly is the difference between pkg_delete and pkg_deinstall? Should I be cautious about mixing them?

Nopes, can mix them. pkg_deinstall uses pkg_delete infact. Just that it understands wildcards and supports recursing.

pkg_deinstall is especially useful want to delete a package and all the stuff that was installed by it as dependencies ...
