Hello

Do you mean route withdrawals for routes received from that removed protocol?
Send to other peers? This should not be an issue - when a protocol is removed
or disabled, all its routes are removed and withdrawals should be sent to
other protocols.

Do you see these stale routes on routes on routers directly connected
with (now removed) session, or on their neighbors?
