This is from the transferCyclesStopAndDeleteCanisters API in CanDBAdmin.mo

CanDB/src/CanDBAdmin.mo

Line 33 in d767609

public func transferCyclesStopAndDeleteCanisters(canisterIds: [Text]): async CanisterCleanupStatusMap {

It's used when you want to delete an array of canister ids in parallel. Essentially what it does is:

  /// 1. Calls the TransferCycles method of each canister actor (transferring cycles from your service partition canisters back to your CanDB Index canister actor)
  /// 2. Stops each canister
  /// 3. Deletes each canister

Step 1 is what's resulting in a system error, since the library is sending cycles.

You can also implement your own canister cycles cleanup if you want to avoid the warning, but I implemented it in the library so that you don't have to deal with it in the first place.
