Those are Front Page extensions, many hosts still install them by
default when they set up an account for you. It's okay to delete them if
you don't use FP, delete the UserFile and GroupFile too from where they
are located.
Your htaccess is probably created by and owned by the server itself
which is preventing you from overwriting it. You can delete it then
upload your own but you will need to delete it with a script run on the
server so it thinks the boss is talking and obeys.
Here's some php for a single file:
$return = @unlink('help/chapters/filename.txt');
// Return FALSE if not found
var_dump($return);
and for deleting an entire folder:
// rmdirr.inc.php

I 'spose it should be mentioned that caution is the keyword here, you
could end up deleting everything if not careful :-)
