The confirm method returns boolean, so you dont need to check its
state for true and then return true if it is. This will suffice:

return confirm("you are trying to cancel a mirrored display
location.Do u want to continue");

Why not just submit a form to a PHP script that does your database
action and then does your location.replace? For example:

document.forms[0].onsubmit = return confirm("are you sure?");

When a user activates the link or whatever you are using to call the
delete action, you can populate the form with the required ids, etc,
and then call the submit method of the form.
