Not here.
I had 5 entries in the table and 4 orphan BACKUP data sets.  I deleted the 
orphans with no apparent ill effects.

I reused all 5 entries by starting 5 edits in 5 split screens.

I used GSF's FASTPATH LOGOFF command to verify that this happens.
Then I started another edit session and ISPF had no problem reusing
that slot in the EDRT with a different data set.

Seems to be E for edit or V for view.

ISPF doesn't seem to delete the entries from the table, but just
set the STATus to 0 to indicate that recovery is not needed.

Seems safe to just delete the unused data sets.
