Existing Files

I created a new domain name on my account and I have a few files that exist, index.hml and login.html. I also have a directory that exists called images. There are several dozen images in that directory.

I need these file names, and I need that directory for my website to work correctly. I'm not sure why they already exist, but I want to make sure that its safe for me to delete them.

I need to put a bunch of images into the domain/images directory of my website but I cannot because there is already existing garbage in there. Some with the same file names I already need.

I'm not sure why it is setup this way but I need to remove that system stuff so that I can upload my website. If this is stuff for h-sphere or system data. I don't understand why its not put into the cp or cgi-bin directories by default.

Most people need the domain/images directory for themself.
 
These that already exist can all be deleted, it is the pages that come up if one doesn't provide any content.
 
Ok, Thanks! Good because they were bugging me. I didn't want to mixup my website files/images with the existing stuff. It would be too confusing down the road.

Edit: wait you said all the files can be deleted. So I can delete cgi-bin and cp folders too? There is also a file called robots.txt..
 
leave the cgi-bin alone for usage by perl should you need it, but all the rest can be removed without problem, this is called the 'skeleton file structure' and it with exception of cgi-bin is not needed.
