update with wix

My task is to create an update installation pack wich delete some dlls and replace config files of installed program. And I have original installation Wix project source. I've read on several places on the internet about how to build update Wix project and I got some questions.

As I understood I have to use the same Product and UpgradeCode GUIDs in my update Wix project. So I have to delete unnecessary files and to add new. Can anybody tell me what is the preferred way to remove old files?

What information I must use from original installation Wix project? At the beginning I want to create my new one using Product and UpgradeCode GUIDs, but may be it possible to modify oroginal project for update purposes?

The Lesson 4 of WiX Tutorial and Patching and Upgrades chapter of Windows Installer documentation should answer most of your questions. I would also recommend you playing with small test project to understand how the things work before implementing this in live solution.
