perhaps I was not clear. Sometimes observations on say Y may be
updated or revised. That means after I change those in Gretl any
transformation such as ln Y or difference Y that I may have created
before the update will still use the original Y data as they do not
update automatically. When I try to delete these variables, because
they have been used in the session, Gretl will not allow me delete
them in order to re-create them using the updated Y.
I have figured a workaround which is to define a variable YNEW=Y and
then create the transforms needed using YNew. But that is not very
elegant!

Yes you cannot delete them, but re-assigning new values to the existing
series should work without problems. If you're working with different
samples and are afraid of mixing up stuff by accident you could perhaps
set all values to missing first. Or you could close and re-open the
dataset which should get rid of the "in use" problem.
