Does it also not specify the override information saying that the file 
was set to that size by the user?

Anyway it will do the right thing.  This example from V7.1:


AUTOGEN Parameter Calculation Report on node: OMEGA
   This information was generated at  1-APR-2011 15:20:54.49
   AUTOGEN was run from SAVPARAMS to SETPARAMS - default execution specified

...

SWAPFILE1_SIZE information (for SYS$SYSTEM:SWAPFILE.SYS):
 	Feedback information.
 	   Old value was 9200, New value is 9200
 	   Maximum observed usage (blocks): 2048
 	Override Information - parameter calculation has been overridden.
 	   The calculated value was 8100.  The new value is 9200.
 	   SWAPFILE1_SIZE calculation has been set to current size by user.
 	   SWAPFILE1 will not be modified. The file size is within 10%

You can delete the unnecessary files after your test.

Yes, they will.  But that was not your question.
