No, that looks fine. Don't delete them.

Most of those files should have been replaced when you reinstalled the
packages as suggested by Ed. All you need to do is reboot so that nouveau

Reboot, see what it gives you. Ideally you will have /etc/inittab set to
runlevel 3 and it will give a non-graphical login. Take it slow, slackware
is going to launch everything one layer at a time so sit back and enjoy the
show.
