I recommend against deleting or moving *-default.xml, because these files may be supplying reasonable default values for configuration properties that you haven't set in *-site.xml. We also put defaults into the code itself in case a configuration property is found to be completely missing, but I'm not aware of any actual testing of deployments that have deleted *-default.xml.
