Root Can I delete the Android "com" files of apps I've deleted?

I've deleted the bloatware, but still see files in apps that reference them; ie
"com.boingo.boingowifi"
and "com.jnj.mocospace.android"
and "com.loopt"

Actually, those are the only ones I could identify as associated to apps I've deleted. Can I delete these three files? What are they called? Apps? Folders? Files? I don't know, but they show up on the uninstaller list.

Hi! They are probably just data files associated with the apps you removed. What happens when you click on the apps you mentioned above?

Do you have a restore option?

It's better to get the Pro version of Titanium and 'Freeze' the apps instead of uninstalling or deleting them. When the Froyo is released we may all need to unroot and it might be important to have access to these files.

I would not delete them. Do you need the space?

Definite answer is yes. They are 0 kb files. I have deleted similar files on my Ascend.
