I've just signed up for the Starter plan and on logging in there's a bunch of stuff on the server (default stuff). I'm wondering if someone can describe for me what these things are, and whether or not I can get rid of them:

[folders]
.cpanel-datastore
.kde
.trash
etc
mail
public_ftp [anonymous ftp upload area]
public_html [websites, cgi-bin, etc.]
tmp

[files]
.bash_logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.contactemail
.gtkrc
.lastlogin

[link]
www


Any info much appreciated...

Those are basically system files. Don't delete them

The most important one is the www/public_html directory which is your content directory.
