Some unix shell scripts will set the sticky bit on ordinary files; that shouldn't be reason to delete those files.
E.g. as I remember, my copy of emacs had the sticky bit set. Even if my memory (or filesystem) is faulty in this case, you can appreciate that some multi-platform programs will have themselves installed with the sticky bit set.
