They explained in an earlier episode that he placed a lock on the data stored in the Proto Gashats that prevented them from reviving those people. To undo it, they needed to take his Master Gashat back, or maybe just destroy it since they tried that without the subject ever coming up. Whatever Masamune did, its express purpose was to deny them the chance of bringing anyone back, so I guess it was just a way for him to make the Gashat disappear while keeping the lock in place. He could only delete Saki's data because he'd already extracted it from the Gashat it was stored in, I doubt he could have deleted anything from them remotely.

Speaking of which, Saki's data was presumably restored thanks to the Reset, though that's only speculation I suppose.
