As to resource issue, you said they were increasing site resources, so presumably the lost resources from deleted activities will be found as additional resources on other activities.
Bear in mind for recovery plans, you would expect the majority of the changes to made on critical or near-critical activities.
As I said before, I think removing (or perhaps for recording purposes better to just zero out duration & resources & remove links) activities can be justified when changing construction methods.
Adding / removing activities will mean the progress weighting may need to be re-visited for remaining work. So long as the same method is used as for original baseline, this shouldnt be an issue.
I would suggest going back to the contractor asking for justification for any changes you have identified which cause you concern.

Hi Gary,
Actually, majority of the missing activities are in the critical path. This is the reason why I am asking if it is possible.
As far as I know, recovery plan can tell us when they are going to recover (the date) compare to the approved baseline.
If they are going to delete some of the activities with resource loaded, the resources will also be deleted.
Any thoughts.
Regards,
Arnold

I would have thought so. It seems quite reasonable that a change in construction method could make some activities redundant.
Are you able to easily identify which activities are missing? If only 26, it would seem appropriate to assess each individually.
Cheers,
G
