Bishvamitra, Chances are you, won't delete macro variables by mistake because they remain in the global symbol table until you change them, delete them intentionally with the %SYMDEL statement or end your SAS session in; which case the macro variables in the global symbol table are deleted and cleared out(as mentioned in the video around 35:46+). But this does bring up a good point, if you need to recreate user-defined macro variables from one SAS session to the next or even in your same SAS session if you delete all of them with the nifty %delete macro that was shown in the video, you will have to save the code that creates the macro variables and resubmit the code to recreate them if they get deleted.
Thanks a lot sir. Love from India 🇮🇳
Never seen SAS explained so clearly, intuitively, and naturally. I live in Canada, how can I take your classes?

This is awesome, good work. Any way to restore those macro variable without compile if I deleted any by mistake?
Thank you! We are checking on this for you!
