Generally, granting a motion to strike means that the affidavit will not exist in the court's view. The affidavit, as a sworn statement may be relevant and admissible as evidence in some other context, perhaps to show perjury or conflicting testimony. You need to have an attorney review the entire file for a definitive answer.
