Default MsgQueue files (in ROM), Can they be deleted

Basically I am looking for clarification, I have and XDA, just tested Sprite Space Detective and it show that almost 21mb of the ROM is taken up with these files (1 reference MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Raw SMS Protocol (Receive Only) approx 2.8mb.).

There are seven of these files (message, notification, text, etc.), my real question, they all seem to deal with SMS which believe it or not I never use, so if I were able to delete them would it be possible without destroying my XDA (I mean are they used for anything else other that SMS, i.e. email notification, reminder notifications....).

Because if not, 21mb on an XDA is a whole lota space.

from what i've been able to fegure out searhing the many posts about this thing is that you cant
some say they are in rom
some say they are like the pageFile on windows pc's
some say that the size they report is fake and they dont use as much mem as they claim
use search for more about it
hhhmm ok i may be a jerk but i'm a jedi jerk like my father was before me
BTW "I can't use a skeleton arm with that"

they are not real files, but more like pipes/FIFO's created with 'mknod p' in unix.
