What can I safely delete? I highlighted in bold and color what I think can be deleted. Can someone confirm this?

You can safely delete those that you highlighted. As the new files is in the "blocks" directory.

Easiest way for you to check is to close the bitcoin client, move those files to another directory and then start the client again and check if it starts downloading the blockchain again.
