OK. If it's default, I'll leave it be. It doesn't matter one way or 
another. Now my ownCloud server has one (outdated) copy of my files in 
the root, and a fresh copy in /clientsync. I want to delete the outdated 
files in the root. Is it safe to delete them from the web interface 
without affecting the contents of /clientsync?

I did indeed play around with ownCloud client quite a bit when I was 
first experimenting. I probably changed something there. Thanks for 
clearing it up - I think I understand now.
