External question

Hi, I'm new here and I just had a question about my new external.

I recently bought a 320 GB mypassport to store my videos and stuff because my computer was running out of room. I dont need any fancy stuff, just the memory to hold a couple videos and school files just in case something goes wrong with my computer. I was just wondering if I needed to go through all the initial setup and sync and whatnot if I just need my external to just hold some stuff. The external came with a bunch of initial setup files and programs. Do I need to keep those too or can I just erase them? I'm kind of a computer noob so any help would be much appreciated. thank you
 
I would just leave them. I just use my external like a giant flash drive and back everything up manually. It's easier, and then I know exactly whats on the backup. I just selected all of my Document and Media folders and copied and pasted them to the external drive through My Computer.
