“Local variables” in SOPs are an older concept in Houdini (before VEX snippet syntax became more widespread) that allowed you to access attribute values as variables. For example you could create an attribute “foo” and then bind it to local variable $FOO, which could then be used in HScript expressions in parameters on other SOPs. Nowadays we just use VEX snippets for everything, so instead you'd just use @foo.
Updating local variables in this case would rename or delete local variables you'd bound to those attributes, depending on what you were doing on the Attribute Delete SOP.

Short answer: Don't worry about it. Use VEX syntax.

PaponSince it's an old concept, not used anymore and considered deprecated, that option is there just for backwards compatibility and as toadstorm said can easily be ignored

If you are really interested you can search forums for old posts about local variables
