You can delete everything except the cgi-bin directory. The other ones are used for FrontPage extensions, which will be eliminated globally soon.

They are the files associated with the frontpage server extensions. I don't like them either, so I normally just delete them since I don't use FP.

WordPress just needs the files it came with and a database. And it will be happy forever!

One of the first things I did when I got my account was remove FrontPage extensions via cPanel. I have actually noticed some hacking attempts related to them but of course none of those pages were there to be hacked.

Yeah, thankfully we're eliminating Front Page very soon. No more weird directories with extensions to uninstall!
