Well, If you're deleting from a list you want to be iterating backwards. If you're on UniVerse you want to be using field not value level (for hint mechanism) or use revremove. It assumes LAST.NAME is not empty.
Since I don't know your data I do know if using index will stuff it if is not a unique part of a field, or if it more efficient to build a new key list or take from the current (are there more deleted than kept?) You can use the new (ugly, ugly but potentially useful) U2 Dynamic Objects to make a dictionary structure to ensure uniqueness..
