Trying to remove Custom tables that are no longer used, but have several custom programs tied to them. I cant simply just DROP TABLE in SQL because of the programs that are using the table references, GEN ties, etc... same with dbdef. Cant do it. 

Is there an easy way to get rid of those, and all possible residual usage/references to these tables?

If there are programs that still call them, then by definition that are still used.

I agree you can't just drop them, but getting rid of them easily will be inversely related to how intricately they are embedded in the affected programs.

You should have a developer, if you aren't one yourself, look at the code in question, and assess the effort.
