Why would the SQL "SYS" files have deleted records? And LOTS of deleted records

Member Size Type Date Date Time Records Deleted Records
SYSCOLUMNS 0 05/23/11 07/08/11 23:18:12 897969 406294

SYSCST
SYSCSTCOL
SYSCSTDEP
SYSINDEXES

And others also have lots of deleted records (as a % of the total records)

Is it safe/advisable to do q RGZPFM on these?
