Hmmm  ::)... In my case, I got only the security essencials, nothing else!!!

They say that if they're empty we can delete them but most of them are not empty!!!

Thank Mick, I'm gonna make a ghost backup of the system partition and delete them all, if it gives me problems, I'll replace the system.
