Is there a reason not to delete unneeded or empty helpers (Ruby on Rails)?

In app/helpers, I have a few ruby files which are just the default module headers/class definitions with no code inside. Is it safe to delete these, or would I need them for any particular reason?

While there is no harm to deleting the files--you have nothing inside them--I recommend that you keep the files and try to get used to using them. It's a great way of learning how to manage a sizable project!

The only reason you might want to not prematurely delete them is if they might be used later.

There is no reason to keep these files. You can safely delete all the files that were generated and are just empty placeholders.
