All subsites belonging to that parent site will be deleted.

Thanks for the quick Reply! However, correct me if I am wrong, but that link gives specifics around what happens if you delete a site collection (the top level of SharePoint Online). I do not want to delete a site collection, I want to delete the next level down (a sub site to the site collection). If I delete that level, will I loose that level's children sub sites?...meaning all that I would have left over is just the site collection.
Site Collection Site (LEVEL 1)
-> Site (LEVEL 2)
-> Sub Site (LEVEL 3)
-> Sub Site (LEVEL 3)
