Today I lost my HIERARCH.PM file.
I restored a backup, the the file is filled with scattered search
results from the COPYSELF file.
Can I delete those without also deleting the original files wherever
they are?
How can I remove old search results?

HIERARCH.PM
will be made anew when deleted [or renamed],
you will have to rebuild your subfolder tree.
How can I remove old search results?
Check:
Preferences >
Folder behavours >
Default setting for search results folders is 'delete on exit'
and then exit PM.

Thanks, but the existing ones are still scattered throughout the file
-- can I delete them without delting the originals?

If you take a copy of the HIERARCH.PM then you can try what you want
and if it doesn't work put the original back. Any changes to your
structure made before you restore it would be lost.
Or you can just make it inaccessible by renaming it to say
HIERARCHPM.SAV and let it rebuild and see what happens when you
restart Pegasus.
The file offers a convienience rather than a necessity and no emails
are affected by letting it rebuild.

OK, I've discovered that deleting those links doesn't delete the
original messages, though it apparently can be set to do so if you
wish.

What links are you telking about?
This is not about links, is it?

The links to messages found in previous searches.
I was asking whether deleting the links deleted the messages found,
and apparently it does not, though there is an option to set it to do
so,
