Use all, or none - it's up to you

The bigger questions:

1. _why_ do you want to remove them?  
If it's a RAM usage issue, then you may want to look here:  
[Superdirt lazy samples loading](https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/superdirt-lazy-samples-loading/3148)

2. _how_ you plan to remove them -  
So long as disk space is not an issue, I recommend doing it via the supercollider startup.scd - commenting out the default samples line.  
If you just delete the files, you'll likely run into issues when you want to upgrade the superdirt quark down the track
