Deleting these files?  What files exactly?  Are you talking about removing the collections from the snmpCol.conf file using the xnmcollect GUI with the "Delete" button?  
That you can do, but there is no need if they are suspended, and who knows, you might want to collect some data with snmpCollect some day.  The suspended collections could act as templates or examples for what you might really want to do.
I would not delete snmpCol.conf since that controls snmpCollect, and if he is running, then he needs that file.  

Did you want to delete the data that snmpCollect already collected?  That's stored in the database under /usr/OV/databases/snmpCollect.  You can delete all the entries under that directory if you like, though I would stop snmpCollect first (ovstop snmpCollect).  If you want to format the data and see what it looks like before you delete it, see the man page on the snmpColdump command.

If you are afraid that someone else will resume these data collections,  or you just don't want snmpCollect to be running in your system because you never use him, you could always fix it so that snmpCollect is never even started.  You would deregister him like this:
(1) ovstop snmpCollect
(2) ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/snmpCol.lrf

To add him back
(1) ovaddobj  /usr/OV/lrf/snmpCol.lrf
(2) ovstart

Thanks James - I will do that. Are there any negative side-effects from
just deleting these files once the collections are suspended?

Type in xnmcollect from the command line to start the snmpCollect
collection editor.  Look in the first column of the display under the word
"Status"  If you see collections say "Collecting", then select each of
them in turn, and click the "Suspend" button to shut them off.  Then  OK
your way out.
