Storage vMotion - Remnant Files

I have been performing some Storage vMotions using SVMotion vCenter plugin as we migrate to our new SAN. I noticed that there is still the VM directory remaining on the old LUN/SAN with files remaining. It doesn't appear at first glance to be anything unique that wasn't copied over to the new storage but wanted to know if anyone could enlighten me more as to why these files would be left behind and if there is any reason why i couldn't simply disregard them.

Files left behind

  • vmxf

  • vmsd

  • nvram

  • vmx

  • vmware.log

  • vmware-x.log

Any compelling reason that anyone can think of why I would need to keep these files?
