New Terabyte Drive

Hi, I'm running XP pro.
I've added a new 1 Terabyte drive for backup purposes.
I haven't put anything on it yet, I need to know about
three files that appear on the drive in explorer.

1. Autorun (folder)
2. autorun.inf file
3. System Volume Information

These files appear grayed out. I know how to remove them,
but is it safe and ok to remove them as they are not required?

TIA.

Forgot to mention, there is a 'Recycler' folder there also.
Can this be removed?

TIA.

Thanks for the reply,
The autorun it seems is puts an icon (WD) next to my drive letter in
explorer.
I deleted it so there is no icon now.
Thanks for the help.
