I just connected my new external drive to my laptop and there is about 45 gb used with pre-loaded files. Can I safely delete these files?

Yes.

Any files loaded to the drive can later be downloaded to the drive from our website.

The applications that come on the drive should not amount to 45 GB so double check to make sure you are not deleting any of your files.
