I don't work too much with historical leagues but from what I have done and what I have read here, it's a combination of the initial setting (Base Potential Ratings on Career Totals, Remaining Career, or Peak Seasons) and the setting you choose for recalculation (1, 3, and 5 years) - see below. I think I remember people saying that the most accurate historical results would be from choosing Remaining Career and 1 year recalculation. Yes, there could be significant random variation from actual results but the intent is to have simulation come pretty close to reality.

As far as deleting a league (meaning an entire game, not one league within a game), it's a matter of preference I think. Deleting it by using Load Game, Delete is more tidy but takes longer. Deleting the game folder in Windows Explorer or whatever they call it in a Mac is much quicker but if that was the game that you were playing when you last closed OOTP, it makes a dummy folder of the same name when you start OOTP again. Also, if you forget and click Continue Game without realizing that it's still looking for the deleted game, you will get an error message.
