By their very nature they are ephemeral.
If a program created them, they should be recreated every time. If a user created them, they should be recreated every time. Pretty much the same holds true of the hold file. And ime, a full hold file can noticeably impact system performance - okay we're running on Windows, but when I filled the hold file with temporary files, I regularly got user complaints. Tell your VP you'll back &SAVEDLISTS&, &HOLD& to CD before you clean them up, and no you should not get any complaints because those files were *designed* as temporary work areas, not as data storage places.
