Let me explain this once again...

You order a ptf, SI12345 and get a save file QSI12345.
Let's say this PTF fixes QCMDEXC.
You load the ptf.
You apply the PTF.
As part of the application process it saves the old QCMDEXC into another
save file. Let's call it QSI12345V1.
Then it restores the new QCMDEXC from QSI12345.

If you do a RMVPTF it will delete QCMDEXC and restore it from QSI12345V1.

If you apply SI12345 permanently then it will get rid of the back up save
file, QSI12345V1, (and do some other things).

But QSI12345 will stay there until you do a DLTPTF.
