Right now, you can delete everything but the main gnucash data file.
The .xac files are backup files created each time you save. You can
safely delete the older ones. You can also delete the .log files.
The budget stuff will be stored in a separate file, probably in
scheme forms which will be fairly easy to write out and read back
in. Storing the budget in the main file is problematic, as it
means the main file format has to change everytime the budget
format changes. This is a lot riskier than storing it separately.
