How do I delete a save game without deleting the world? It seems that even though the act of abandoning a fortress says that it is deleting save games, the save games are not actually deleted.

You can't do that directly. If you want the world in a "blank" state you should make a copy before starting to play.
What you can do is open the world in legends mode, export the world gen data and then use the data to re-gen the same world you had.

You don't need to go into Legends mode to do that - you can do it from Fortress mode by using the "export map image" command and exporting at least one Z-level.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
