Oh. Should I - I mean, you're sure I'm not going to hurt anything by keeping these two? I don't want to mess things up before I have full control over what's going on.

They're perfectly safe - and they can't do much harm, in any case. The worst you'd get is a minor disturbance, if one of them bumps into something and knocks it over - since they're physical objects.
