Yes, delete them, you're not using them anymore

Here's 'fstab' line for my Windoze drive. I moved it out of
'/mnt/', to a dir named '/c'. I can read/write/exe anything on that
fat 32 partition (13.6 gig) as user.
/dev/hda1 /c vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
I've seen several different 'fstab' lines for r/w/x a Windoze drive,
but this is the lien that has always worked for me. It's also the way
7.x versions of Mandrake have installed.
*Do Not* mess with 'mtab' ! Similar to your setup, I had a
storage partition for .jpg's, formatted fat32 so either OS could use
them. I used to mount it as '/d'. Fat32 wouldn't let me put more
than ~18,000 files in one dir tho. When I installed 7.2b3 a few
days ago, I changed the format for this partion to ext2, and named
it '/stor' rather than '/d'. It now has ~23,000 .jpg's in it ;)
