What is the best practice for import set tables not being used and import sets in a Loaded State?

[Cupcake]

I was testing loading some data which created an import set table. It is only test information, which is in a state of "Loaded".

a) Is there a way to deactivate it vs. delete? If not, what are the drawbacks if any if you delete the import set table?

b) Also, I have an import set that I really will be using in a catalog item as a Lookup Select Box (which references the table created via the import set). That import set is also in a Loaded state. What happens if you don't transform the data?

Thanks,

Karen

Thank you Mike. You have been very informative.

I am still very new as you can tell from my questions to ServiceNow. I like to be fully aware of the positives and drawbacks of how things work so I really appreciate your assistance. I wish I could give you a gold coin or something.
