 * Hi BPS,
 * While cleaning up my public_html files, I’ve discovered some redirection files
   in the folder:
 *     ```
       400.shtml
       401.shtml
       403.shtml
       404.shtml
       500.shtml
       500.php
       ```
   
 * I wonder they are generated by BPS, if not, can I remove them? Thanks!

 * Nope they are not BPS files. Most likely these are default files created by your
   web host. When a 400 error occurs the 400.shtml file is loaded which displays
   an error message. etc etc etc. I assume that you can delete them, but maybe you
   should check with your web host first.
