Safe to delete all the index.html if index.php located to a public_html inside the application ?

If a folder is in public_html or above, you need to have an index file (index.html, index.php etc) to prevent someone from seeing the contents of the folder. It's only safe to remove index.html files if you have another index file in there, or it's not in a publicly viewable web space.
