The actual question is: If I'm not using cgi-bin, can I safely delete it? And what are the ramifications if I delete /home/[user]/public_html/.well-known?
I ask because I'm working on a script that, among other things, "refreshes" a public_html, i.e. removes all the files and directories, and my knowledge of regex makes it hard for me to figure out how to adapt a recipe for this. So it'd be easier for me to delete these directories if it doesn't matter.
For the record, in case anyone is good enough at regex and would like to help, the recipe I found to remove all files including hidden is as follows:
rm -rf {,.[!.],..?}*

Delete all files (including hidden ones) with just one rm (Example)
