On the lastest version of MaFt's files he has already deleted the attractions file, the instruction to delete it is for people with the older version.
I don't know what the camrename file is but I have left it there and it doesn't seem to do any harm.

the CamRename.bat file is a short script that changes the name of the PGPSW speed cam files so they end up at the bottom of the list and work with the bitmaps in my zip download. right-click and select 'edit' if you want to check that that is all it does.
