Why particles or hovertext remain even if script deleted?

Particles are a prim property, like texture rotation and hovertext are. The script just sets that property.

To remove particles you need to put this scrubber into the object...

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
  		llParticleSystem( [] );
	}
}

Because, as Callum explained, they are properties of the prim that they are in, not properties of a script.  Particles and hover text, prim point light,  and several other properties can only be switched ON/OFF with a script, but do not require a script to persist.  The script is just a switch.  Once it has done its job, you may remove it.

Prims have properties. You can make a prim blue. Color is a property. We set color via the Build Editor or a script. Once the color is set, it remains until changed. Particles and Hover Text are also properties of prims and thus remain until changed.
