the status of exclusive depends on the SET EXCLUSIVE command and/or how uyou opened the table (USE DB!Table SHARED or USE db!Table EXCLUSIVE)

IAC you don't have to PACK the table everytime you delete a record from it
it will just take a long time if the tables get bigger
IF your problem is that you are seeing the deleted records unless you PACK try
SET DELETED OFF
