Cleaning out garbage files from my Root directory

[Engineerly]

Currently I have the folders in the list below, but all I'm really doing is wordpress multisite (and the usual e-mail accounts).



/
.autorespond
.cpan
.cpanel
.cpcpan
.fontconfig
.htpasswds
.HttpRequest
.sqmailattach
.sqmaildata
.trash
access-logs
etc
ioncube
mail
public_ftp
public_html
tmp
www


Also in the root directory are several files that may be obsolete and I'd like to get rid of if I can:



.autorespond-loopprotect
.bash_logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.contactemail
.dns
.emacs
.ftpquota
.lastlogin
.zshrc
cpbackup-exclude.conf
webalizer.conf


Is there anything I can safely get rid of to clean things up? I have already identified everything under public_html that is not needed.

Thanks, Ron

You don't want to be deleting these files. They are the ones that make your account run. I would advise you to only mess with the ones in the public_html folder (your websites) and possibly the public_ftp, if you allow that. Also, www is a link to public_html for installers that need that.

Yes as Farcaster said play with only the files inside your public_html folder & remember the Golden rule: TAKE BACKUPS & you will never regret :)

OK, I'll leave them alone. I'll just assume that's bluehost's territory. Thanks.
