Of course they see an increase of 404 errors because that is what is happening! They warn you so that you notice unintended problems. But right now the increase is indeed intended so just ignore it. The warning will disappear.
The only thing you can do to not get people hitting deleted pages is to:
If pages get deleted and links not removed then you’ll be getting not found errors. Of course you can’t avoid this if people are bookmarking your pages.
if you don’t want to see 404 error is to redirect this to the related pages but keep in mind that excessive use of redirects is also harm full.Try not to delete more pages and try to remove your links of this page or try to reduce the link and wait and ignore the 404 for this page as time pass it will be go down in google search results and you get know 404.
