I have to disagree with this.  I do a /delete on every drive that I use 
anywhere in our company for group based mappings, regardless of if the 
user is in that group or not and people are constantly complaining about 
their custom drive mappings disappearing.  Why they don't listen to us 
and not use those letters is a different issue, but the fact is that the 
/delete works.

Now in my config, I have the home directory mapped to H: and if you try 
to delete that it throws all sorts of fits.

I have yet to see a (complete) smb.conf or a logon script in this 
thread.  There are at least a couple of places where things can get 
mapped automatically, and a few things default if you don't have 
explicit entries.
