Nawaz, The restoresymtable files are used by ufsrestore (ie, during a tape restore) as a checkpoint. These files are only necessary to preserve if you're in the middle of doing incremental restores. You should be able remove them without problems - in fact you should remove them after you're finished with any restore as they do take up lots of space.
