Because these lists are added to instead of overwritten in some cases. It can be help full to just restart emacs instead of trying to unlink symbols. I can't give you specific examples. But I can assure you that this is the case. Oh, one example I can give is if you setq specific options with imap, and then delete these setqs the options are still set for that session of emacs.
