Hi Sachin, You're free to do whatever you want of course but please don't ask for support later on because some xwiki skin you'll want to use doesn't work for you :) (it won't work but that'll be normal since it'll rely on files in the templates dir).
You're touching here at XWiki core structure and it's not never a good thing to change that unless you completely understand what it means. In the same way you can delete lots of jar files in the WEB-INF/lib dir but if you do you'll find one day that when you use such and such plugin it doesn't work.
