Sure you can delete those files and not hurt any thing. But they do
have purpose in FBSD. Lets say you recompile kernel and for some
reason when you go to boot new kernel it does not boot, you are
stuck. You can reboot  and select the kernel.Generic or kernel.old
to bring box back to life and fix problem, so that being said, it's
highly recommended to not delete those files.

Subject: kernel files

Hi,

I would like to know, if it is safe to remove these files from /:

kernel.GENERIC
kernel.old

Since there is already a /kernel (which should be the current one,
right?)

Version: 4.8-RC FreeBSD
