I have used "drop" plenty of times to remove alerts, and thought about
doing that. However, as per the hints and tips it, "permanently removes
all traces of a test". Since the xymonlaunch alert is built into the
code and not a user defined alert that can be added back, I have a
concern about permanently removing all traces of it. If it happens
again, I'd like to know about it. If I permanently remove the test via
the "drop" command, will it come back should the problem happen again?

there is a problem. If my assumption is correct, how can I clear the
"purple" alert?
As per the "Hints and Tips" page, use the "xymon" command with a
"drop" option. Such as:
~/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME xymonlaunch"
