The answer is simple: They are completely unnecessary, just like many of the other files that the server uses.
Recommended course of action: Every day, I suggest just before having lunch, pick a few random files and delete them. Repeat daily until server fps reaches 1000. But no awping! It's only good for 500fps and below, otherwise the server will just randomly give people $16000 immediately.
