No, you don't want to delete those. In *nix terminology, it's a "soft" link - analogous to a windoze shortcut, but more powerful. Suffice it to say, what you do to public_html is reflected in "www" because it's a direct link. There are applications that are written to access "www" instead of "public_html". So, this way, it's flexible to accomodate both.
