Matthew, I see what you mean! The problem is that VistA is an ever moving target. If the volunteers took the hours and hours needed to clean up all these distros before releasing them, then a release might never get done!
About the automatic deletions, the only thing point TO the PHARMACY PATIENT file is file 59.7. I found this out by checking VPE's DD, and looking at pointers IN. Now, all those records that you are going to delete are invalid anyway, so killing them should be OK. But you might want to then look at file 59.7 and see if you need to clean IT up.
