Hi,

the /var/adm/sw/save_custom directory is used for patches that require special
manipulations with the install of the patch, above and beyond copying the old
files into /var/adm/sw/save. This should be documented in the next release of
the /usr/share/doc/patch_prgm.txt file.

Regards,
Armin

With this in mind, none of the directories and or files under /var/adm/sw should ever get deleted. The subsequent files should only be deleted etc. from the usage of the cleanup command.
