OK, so it'll be overwritten as updates are committed.
Make sure the tools aren't finding a lower res data set before the
higher res set ...
Is there any

Is there any reason to keep the old data around now? If it's not used
by anything I'll free some space up.
I could think of a couple reasons, but they may not apply to you ...

A big part of the problem with these is that the underlying DEM data is
probably not very good for these areas. There is a lot of elevation
change in the terrain

While 2 and 3 sound like very good points, does it make more sense for
1 to use the high res data but process it so that the end result is
small?

- There should no longer be any wildly oscillating runway surfaces.
- There should be no runway surfaces with abrupt cliffs in them.
