Renewing SSL cert for vCenter5.5

Hello Cool People,

I was planning to renew the certificates for our vCenter server and its components using the SSL Certificate automation tool.  I was just curious since when we did this 3 years ago, the files that was generated by the tool was still in the "Request" folder of  ssl automation tool directory including the .pem file. I attached a screenshot below. My question and concern is that, Can this folder or files be removed from the "Request" folder? Since I need to generate a new certificate request(VMware Knowledge Base ) are the files inside these directory gets overwritten with a new files? I hope someone can shed some light and share their expertise on this matter.
