They are used for swapping programs and data when the memory is full. sda1 is the boot partition for Ubuntu, nothing there you need to deal with. So, copy your g-code files off sda2 to a convenient place, and then pretty much forget the BDI system, unless you run out of space. You won't increase the available space on your Ubuntu partitions by deleting stuff on your BDI partitions. You could clear out the BDI partitions and add them as additional file systems to your Ubuntu FS, but it will all be attached at a single mount point, like when you use /mnt/olddisk. If you want to add a particular large chunk of files, you can do that, but it isn't the same as just increasing the capacity of an existing partition. It looked like your partitions were pretty big, so you likely don;t have to do anything.
