Multiple AnchorPoints and Links feature classes in same Geodatabase as parcel fabric - safe to merge, or delete?

We've got several of these AnchorPoints and Links feature classes in the same Geodatabase as our parcel fabric (though not in the same dataset). Is it safe to merge, or delete these?

From what I've gathered looking into this, these are created when doing an adjustment of some kind (like using the tools "Generate Parcel Fabric Links" and "Rubbersheet Features"). I'm guessing they might be here instead of a file geodatabase because this database is set to the Default for the project, but I'm not positive.

Are these still useful or necessary once the adjustment has been made, or can they just be deleted? If they can't be deleted, can they at least all be merged to one feature class of each type?

Hi Andrew

These feature classes are created when doing an alignment using the Align Parcels tool. They are safe to delete or merge - unless for some reason you want to keep them.

Thanks! I forgot about the Align Parcels tool creating these, glad to know it's safe to delete them
