Duh! Now I get it. Service files cover a broad spectrum and to a large extent what it covers depends on the application developers personal definition. In general you should not suffer any damage from removing "service" files but just in case I would...
  • Be sure I had a current Time Machine backup I could restore the "service files" from
  • Keep a record of what service files were deleted from where (screenshots are handy for this)
  • Never ever delete anything from the /System folder
  • Check the file and path to be sure you are deleting any system files

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
