If you have set them with an snmpset, then the persistent state is
stored in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf by default (though some linux
distributions move it to /var/run/net-snmp/snmpd.conf).  It is in there
that the new values are stored.

SNMP doesn't have a "delete" command, so it isn't really possible to
delete a value via snmp.  You can set it to blank, or another value, but
not to "go away".
