I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but you can't fool the
statistics on the translation status pages or in Danilo's status mail by
deleting messages.

Before the status pages are shown after an update, all po files are
re-merged against the most current pot file. Thus, the po files on the
status pages always match the current state and the number of messages
from the latest pot file. Thus, the effect of deleting messages or
msgstr:s beforehand will always be nil.
