The only data we sync with and is stored on the Mac is the Sync Service
(iCal and Address Book) or Entourage data. We do make a backup of the
Entourage data that you could delete if you want. It is at
~/Library/Application Support/Missing Sync for Windows Mobile/Entourage
Data.

Other than that, there is no data for an old device to delete (at that was a
backup of what was in Entourage, not what was on the device).

You can reuse a device name again. If you do attempt to connect a new or
hard reset device with the same name you will get a dialog that allows you
to pick a new name or previously used name.

Good question? I'm not sure. I'll have to try that.

For PIM data (contacts, events, tasks, etc.) there is no need. We sync with
either Sync Services or Entourage, and I don't think you want to delete that
data.

If you are talking about device name data, there is a plist with the device
names. We would rather not have most users poking around in the plist file,
but you can remove old device names from the plist if you really wanted to.

Hopefully I've answered your questions.
