Again, the "safest" way to clear them is with DLTPTF.

Let me try to explain why.
Let's pretend you do a
DSPOBJD OBJ(qcnteddm) OBJTYPE(*PGM) DETAIL(*SERVICE)
and you do not see any ptf on it.
So (on 7.3) you order ptf SI59632.
When you temp apply that PTF it will save the original QCNTEDDM into
another save file. Let's say SH12345678 for example. Then it will
restore the new QCNTEDDM from save file QSI59632.
If you remove (not delete) PTF SI59632 it will restore QCNTEDDM from
SH12345678 to go back to the old version.
Now, if you permanently apply SI59632 it will delete SH12345678 and that
bridge is burned.

What this is telling you is:
- Regularly permanently apply your PTF's to save space by removing the
backup copies.
- Do not clean up the backup copies yourself or you've screwed up your
ability to RMVPTF.
- Do the DLTPTF regularly to clean up the save files containing the 'new
copies'.
- DLTPTF will also remove the members held in
WRKMBRPDM FILE(QGPL/QAPZCOVER)
or
WRKLNK OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/QAPZCOVER.FILE/*')
