Never, ever directly manipulate the system tables. Most of those
triggers are system triggers which are important for the correct working
of the Firebird database. A new Firebird database has 35 system triggers
which have no source (because they weren't declared using SQL).

The RDB$TRIGGER_SOURCE is just informational, the actual (compiled)
trigger is stored in RDB$TRIGGER_BLR.

So no, don't delete them, you will ruin your database.
