Actually, the uninstall procedure is run even if the file deletion fails.

This does not happen, however, if you're prompted for the FTP credentials
and you don't provide them, as it's considered you aborted the procedure.

So, to do achieve the effect you want, just add this line in your
wp-config.php file:

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

This will prevent the FTP credentials from appearing.
