Delete a Site Collections: Users can delete a specific site collection from this link.
Confirm Site use and Deletion:This section is to confirm weather the site is working or not in use . When SharePoint understands Site is not in use based on the settings it automatically deletes the site collection from the database .
Specify Quota templates :In this option we can specify the limits to  a specific site collection . Its like setting a specific size for the contents in the Site collection.

Configure Self-Services on Server: In SharePoint we have two different ways to create new site collection .one is by the administrator  and the other is by the User with specific rights .Self- Services are active by default in SharePoint 2013. Disabling this feature prevent us from the second method then only the farm administrators can create new Site collection.
